We are excited to announce our 2021 Virtual Conference.
The Big Australian Housing Build.
27-28 April

See program here

There has never been a better time to come together. We are seeing the end of the pandemic in Australia, with a shining light to a bigger and better future. We are building thousands of new homes for Victorians in need and creating tens of thousands of jobs to support Victoria’s recovery.

At this conference we will come together to talk about how we can all work towards recovery but also build better and stronger pathways to the future to empower real and sustainable change. The national and Victorian peak bodies for community housing are joining forces in 2021 to deliver a digital only conference that will talk issues and solutions facing the housing market, and tenants, in Victoria and across Australia. We will be bringing international and domestic housing experts together in a major online educational and networking event held over two jam-packed days.

At the conference you will hear from renowned speakers from Australia and overseas.

A few of the upcoming highlights include:

A keynote with Fanchea Kelly, CEO of the Blackwood group in Scotland where we will hear how Scotland geared up for growth.
Learn proactive strategies to encourage rent payment and prevent eviction with Julie Davenport of Hume Housing.
Explore how the English Regulatory system incorporates the tenant experience and much more…stay tuned.

Being a virtual conference we are able to offer the event at a very reasonable cost and there are discounts for group bookings so don’t hesitate – take advantage of the early bird rates now.
