Certain regions grapple with severe rental shortages, as reflected in minimal listings in postcodes like Sutherland-Menai-Heathcote in Greater Sydney, Clarence Valley and Armidale in regional NSW, Yarra Ranges in Greater Melbourne, Geelong in regional VIC, Ipswich Hinterland in Greater Brisbane, and Rockhampton in Regional QLD. Adelaide, Perth, Tasmania, the ACT, and NT also experienced constraints.
