AHURI’s Policy Development Model facilitates engagement between the research and policy communities. Policy development research integrates the traditionally separate processes of evidence building and policy development into one set of practices. The Model demands a high degree of collaboration within and between the policy and research communities. 

This collaboration occurs through specialised AHURI-developed research vehicles that integrate research and policy engagement. These vehicles include Inquiries, First Nations housing research projects, Investigative Panels, and Projects, which are established to address identified policy research priorities. 

identifies policy research priorities through direct consultation with Australian Government senior officials , state and territory government Housing Chief Executives, Centre Directors and the NHRP Panel. The Agenda is agreed by senior officials and endorsed by the Board.
