Building Homes for NSW: Minister Rose Jackson on Public Housing and Reform

In this episode of the PSA CPSU NSW Podcast, host Marianne Ledic sits down with the Honourable Rose Jackson, NSW Minister for Housing, Homelessness, Mental Health, Water and Youth.

Since entering the NSW Parliament in 2019, Minister Jackson has become a driving force for social justice and public sector reform. In this conversation, she shares insights into her journey from student activism and union leadership to the state’s upper house—and now, to leading one of the largest housing reform agendas in recent history.

We unpack the landmark $6.6 billion “Building Homes for NSW” initiative, which focuses on tackling homelessness, repairing aging housing stock, and delivering thousands of new homes across the state. Minister Jackson also reflects on the role of public servants, the challenges ahead, and why bold policy is needed now more than ever.

Whether you work in housing, policy, community services—or simply care about a fairer NSW—this episode offers a front-row seat to one of the most important conversations in public service today.
