Overcrowding

Overcrowding section

Australian state housing agencies including the Northern Territory Government, and the Australian Bureau of Statistics, use the Canadian National Occupancy Standard (CNOS) to define overcrowding. CNOS is a measure of the number of people per bedroom for each home, taking into account household size and composition. The bedroom requirements for CNOS are: no more than two people per bedroom; children aged under 5 of the same or different genders can share a bedroom; children aged over 5 and under 18 of the same gender can share a bedroom; children aged over 5 of different genders should not share a bedroom; couples and their children should not share a bedroom; single household members aged over 18 should have their own bedroom. Where these requirements are not met a home is considered overcrowded.
