Housing is a right,
not a privilege.
OutbackNest 3D-prints carbon-negative homes from waste. Starting at $45K. Delivered in two weeks. Built to outlast us all.
The 3 crises we solve
Australia faces interconnected challenges.
OutbackNest addresses all three simultaneously.
Housing Crisis
Median home prices have outpaced wages 6:1. An entire generation is locked out of ownership. Renters spend 30-50% of income on shelter.
Australians experiencing homelessness on any given night, with numbers rising each year.
Waste Emergency

of iron-rich tailings sit in waste dams across NSW, QLD, and WA, a stranded environmental liability, costing miners money to store.
Carbon Problem
Among the highest in the developed world.
The built environment is the single largest contributor to climate change. Cement alone accounts for 8% of global emissions — more than all aviation combined.
The solution
OutbackNest homes are 3D-printed from recycled plastic and mining waste, creating carbon-negative housing that is built to last. Each home removes CO₂ from the atmosphere while providing safe, affordable shelter.

About OutbackNest
A social impact enterprise transforming environmental waste into durable, carbon-negative shelter for urban, regional, and remote communities across Australia.
Company overview
OutbackNest is a social impact enterprise operating under NestEffect Group in partnership with the ACNC-registered NestEffect Foundation (SERA Conteh Foundation).
Our business directly addresses Australia's housing crisis by utilizing advanced 3D-printing technology and repurposed waste materials to construct durable, fire-resistant, termite-proof, and carbon-negative homes at up to 40% less cost than traditional construction.
Built on a unique social impact model, 100% of profits from home sales fund free housing for vulnerable populations, turning environmental waste into permanent, sustainable shelter where it is needed most.
Every home sold funds
another home given away.
A self-sustaining impact cycle where every purchase builds more than a home. It builds a future for someone who couldn't afford one.
OutbackNest Builds & Sells
We design, print, and deliver carbon-negative homes to public, government, and corporate buyers.
Profits Flow to NestEffect
All profits generated from home sales flow directly to the NestEffect Foundation.
NestEffect Buys at Cost
The Foundation purchases homes from OutbackNest at cost — no markup, no margin.
Homes Gifted Free
Homes given completely free to women fleeing violence, homeless families, and vulnerable communities.
"Housing is not a privilege. It is a right. We are here to deliver it."
— Abe Conteh, Founder & CEO
Vision and mission
A world where homelessness no longer exists.
Where every Australian — regardless of background, income, or circumstance — has access to safe, secure, and sustainable housing. Where women fleeing violence find sanctuary, regional communities thrive, and the planet is healed through the homes we build.
To end homelessness in Australia, and eventually the world.
By delivering rapidly deployable, affordable, carbon-negative homes to those who need them most. Using advanced 3D printing technology and waste materials, we build homes that are fire-resistant, termite-proof, and up to 40% cheaper than traditional construction. Every home sold funds another home gifted free to vulnerable women, children, and families.
Our Values
At OutbackNest, everything we do is guided by The SERA Way — five core values that define who we are, how we build, and why we exist.
Sustainability
We build from waste — diverting plastic and mining tailings from landfill while removing carbon from the atmosphere. Every home is carbon-negative.
Equity
Housing is a right, not a privilege. We prioritise women fleeing violence, Indigenous communities, and families priced out of the market.
Resilience
Our homes survive bushfires, termites, and extreme heat. We build for the Australian climate — not against it.
Affordability
We deliver homes for $45,000–$150,000 — a fraction of the cost of traditional builds — and we are working to lower costs further.
Accountability
Profits fund the SERA Conteh Foundation's mission to gift homes free to those in crisis. Every dollar is accounted for in our annual impact reports.
Seven models. One mission.
From the compact Nest Pod to the flagship Sovereign Nest, every model is 3D-printed, carbon-negative, and ready for regional delivery. Prices range from $45K to $150K.

Building Homes. Building Communities. Building a Future.
By Year 3, OutbackNest will be a significant regional jobs engine, a major waste diversion force, and a carbon-removal powerhouse.
Jobs Growth Over Time
Who We Build For
Women and children fleeing domestic violence. Homeless families on waiting lists. Indigenous communities without safe housing. Families priced out of every market.
Every commercial home sale directly enables a free home to be gifted through the SERA Conteh Foundation. When you buy with OutbackNest, you build twice.
Regional employment
By Year 3, OutbackNest will create 100 direct jobs in regional Australia, with projections reaching 220+ jobs by Year 5. These are skilled manufacturing, engineering, and construction roles that revitalize local economies.
Every home we build supports local communities through employment, training, and economic development.
Environmental impact
Each OutbackNest home removes an average of 3.3 tonnes of CO₂e from the atmosphere. We divert 2,500 tonnes of plastic waste and repurpose 500 tonnes of mining waste annually.
Our homes don't just reduce emissions — they actively heal the planet while providing safe shelter.
Let's build something together.
Whether you're a home buyer, government agency, corporate partner, or investor — we'd love to hear from you. OutbackNest is currently in Pre-Seed & Grant Acquisition Phase (2026 Intake).
