Our Board
Housing Choices is fortunate to have a Board of Directors and Executive Management team comprising highly skilled leaders from a variety of fields and sectors. These leaders are passionately driven by a shared desire to make a significant difference to the lives of those we aim to help.
Our Board's commitment to improving and developing staff skills right across our operations doesn’t stop at the boardroom door. Our Directors regularly undertake training and development programs to enhance their own skills in governance and sector compliance.
In working towards these identified goals, we find ways to network and influence with greater impact, collaborating and sharing expertise to enable better and scalable practices. All of this occurs while continuing to prudently oversee the ongoing financial management and compliance requirements of what is a complex and highly regulated organisation.
