Philip Fagan-Schmidt
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Housing SA

"Like most AHI members, housing is in my blood - it is my passion, my work, my contribution to a better world. Housing means many things to many people - it represents security, community, inclusion, creativity, social justice. AHI helps the exchange of ideas and practise on housing. That's why I joined."

Karina Hogan
Manager, Youth and Community Programs
Salvation Army EastCare

"I became a member of the Housing Institute as this was a 'platform' for me to engage in appropriate discussions, be involved in specific 'housing related' forums, conferences and workshops and generally to be kept up to date with new legislation, trends and studies and overall impact on service delivery."

Skye Fraser
A/Manager Housing Strategy, Department of Health and Human Services
Housing Tasmania

"To me being a member of AHI has been valuable because it gives me access to professional support and networks through events, training and publications."

Graham Bodman
Programme Director Tamaki
Housing New Zealand Corporation

"I am a member of the AHI because I believe in the benefits that professional affiliation can bring social housing workers. From a New Zealand perspective, this includes development of networks with our Australian colleagues, local AHI-sponsored events and exposure to a range of policy and practice discussions from across Australasia and the world."

Nicole Randall
Manager, Social Housing and Housing Assistance Policy
Housing New Zealand Corporation

"I love being a member of the AHI as I stay in touch with social housing developments around Australia and NZ. This is especially important for me as a trans-Tasman housing worker (in Queensland, now New Zealand)."

Shirley Trebilcock
Manager Maintenance, AHI Board Member
Housing SA

"Because it gives me the opportunity to connect with housing workers, volunteers, academics and others who are interested in improving and influencing the future of housing provision and practice across Australasia. It enables me to be involved in policy discussions, to learn from other jurisdictions about how we can get better housing outcomes for people and recognition for housing workers as a very meaningful profession."
