    What is DHA?

    Defence Housing Australia (DHA) is a government-owned corporation that provides housing and related services to members of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and their families. DHA builds, buys, and leases properties across Australia under long-term agreements, then rents them directly to Defence personnel.

    For investors, this means:

    • A normal house-and-land package, but with DHA as your guaranteed tenant

    • Secure, long-term rental income (3–12 years, your choice)

    • Annual rental reviews, often above market rates

    • Properties must meet strict DHA location rules (within 30 km of a Defence base)

    • All-in-one property management fee of 16.5%

    DHA Advantage

    • Managed and leased by Defence Housing Australia (DHA)

    • Guaranteed rental income for your chosen term (3, 6, 9, or 12 years)

    • Annual rental valuation often exceeds market rates

    • All-inclusive property management fee: 16.5%

    Regional Growth & Infrastructure Tailwind

      • Clean-energy and advanced manufacturing precincts

      • Hospital and health services expansions creating jobs

      • Revitalisation of the waterfront and city centre to boost lifestyle appeal

    • Banks are passing on the cuts, boosting investor borrowing capacity and mortgage relief

    Tight Rental Market
