View available apartmentsAssemble participates in a government-backed initiative that enables us to offer quality rental homes at a significantly reduced rate.
Our responsible pricing model means eligible households pay reduced rent at Swift Walk.
For qualified renters, the rent is set at a rate that is, at a minimum, 25% lower than the market rent for the same home.
For qualified renters, the rent is set at a rate that is, at a minimum, 25% lower than the market rent for the same home.
Homes are allocated to households that best suit their size and circumstances.
Our goal is simple: reduce rental stress by giving renters genuine access to well-designed, secure, and professionally managed homes that reflect what they can actually afford.
For families especially, stability matters just as much as affordability. That’s why we offer longer-term lease options designed to provide certainty and peace of mind.
Reduced rent homes are made available to individuals, couples and families on modest incomes, including key workers, younger and older renters, and those who may find it challenging to secure housing in the private rental market.
Residents can expect safe, secure, and conveniently located homes in a vibrant neighbourhood, thoughtfully designed for families, housemates, key workers, and those who’ve found it increasingly difficult to secure a foothold in the private rental market.
Providing reduced rents in high-quality, inner-city homes isn’t a handout, it’s an investment in stronger, more inclusive communities.
Because when people from all walks of life can afford to live in the same neighbourhood, communities become more connected, resilient and vibrant. That’s exactly what we’re building at Swift Walk, Kensington.
To be eligible for an Assemble home at reduced rents, you need to meet the following criteria:
Your income must be at or below specific income thresholds set by the government, depending on your household makeup.
We currently have availability for families, housemates, and single-parent households. Studio and 1-bedroom homes for singles, and homes for couples, are now fully allocated.
| Household | Single | Couple | Family/Group |
|---|---|---|---|
| Income | $73,317 | $109,976 | $153,396 |
| Income excludes Super |
|---|
Income may be made up of wages from employment, government benefits, child support payments, and other sources. Income for eligibility assessment does not include Superannuation Guarantee Contributions (SGC).
You will need to provide evidence that confirms your household income, while all the usual checks that are relevant when applying for a rental, like rental history and references, are considered too.
| Household | Maximum Income | Studio | 1 Bed | 2 Bed | 3 Bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single | $73,317 | Check availability | Check availability | n/a | n/a |
| Couple / 2 People | $109,976 | n/a | Fully Allocated | Fully Allocated | n/a |

If your household income exceeds these bands, you can still become part of a community that values people for more than their income.
We have market rate apartments available now at Swift Walk, with the same quality design, community focus, and professional management that makes renting with Assemble special.
