PBSA: Sector resilience backed by long-term growth

The purpose built student accommodation (PBSA) sector in Australia has shown resilience, as proven by robust demand before and after the pandemic. Although the pandemic created some headwinds, Australia's proximity to fast growing middle-income economies, high-quality education and relative affordability are among the compelling reasons underpinning the sector's strength.
