Australia’s student accommodation sector has been in the spotlight as international students return to our shores and investors circle what’s becoming one of the country’s most sought-after alternative asset classes. 

But the demand for purpose-built accommodation is outstripping supply as the sector grapples with the same issues facing the country’s broader housing market.
