My Department publishes data on a monthly basis outlining the number of homeless persons accommodated in emergency accommodation funded and overseen by housing authorities. These reports are based on data provided by housing authorities and are produced through the Pathway Accommodation & Support System (PASS). The reports are collated on a regional basis and are published on my Department's website. The most recent figures currently available are in respect of November 2018. These figures show that 6,157 adults accessed emergency accommodation nationally during the relevant count week, 2,635, or 42.8%, of whom were female.

My Department does not collate data on homelessness in other jurisdictions.
