We are also an Australian leader in the provision of Specialist Disability Accommodation.

  • 12,352 residents

    We work with residents, government agencies, support service partners and community organisations to create resilient, inclusive communities. We link residents to a range of support services and programs that create opportunities for work, education, mental and physical health as well as engagement with their local community.

  • Where we work

    We are one of the largest community housing providers in Australia, with operations in Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, New South Wales and Western Australia.

  • Vision & mission

    Australia’s private rental market presents challenges for a significant portion of the community. In particular, people on low incomes and those living with a disability.

    It is our vision that all people are affordably housed in neighbourhoods that support life opportunities.

    It is our mission to provide affordable homes across Australia, working with partners to create resilient and inclusive neighbourhoods.
