Student Housing Management in Australia - Industry Market Research Report

Empty Rooms: Border Restrictions Have Severely Reduced Demand for Industry Accommodation

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, strong growth in the number of international students entering Australia to study at tertiary institutions underpinned the Student Housing Management industry's long-term expansion. More funding for constructing purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) also aided this growth. Student housing managers help investors with tenant administration, leasing and collecting rent. They also provide traditional property management services, like managing tenant and landlord interactions. Student housing managers generate revenue through a fee on the rental income that landlords receive, which foreign students enrolled in Australian tertiary education institutions pay. The industry provides management services for student accommodation providers. Student housing managers control and oversee student accommodation, like university campus accommodation and purpose-built student accommodation. Industry revenue does not include rent income from providing student accommodation.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
