The Australasian Housing Institute Awards provide an opportunity to showcase social housing success stories. The Awards formally recognise and reward excellence in professional practice, from the grass roots to the most senior levels. They promote to our colleagues and the community at large the difference that social housing professionals make to people’s lives.
Awards go to housing professionals who are judged to have made a significant and lasting difference: to tenants or service users, to their community, to their colleagues and to their profession. The Awards recognise the contributions and achievements of our colleagues in the many disciplines which make up the housing profession.
The Institute has run an awards program since 2004. This program has become increasingly popular with members and other housing professionals. In 2017 the Institute received the record number of nominations - 142 entries from all over Australia and New Zealand.
Nominations for the 2019 Awards have now been closed. This year we've recieved a record number of nominations from all jurisdictions. The judging process will start in March 2019. We thank our dedicated judges for their time, effort and dedication. Each nomination for our prestigious Awards provides the opportunity to win at both your local jurisdiction level, as well as on the Australasian Stage in front of your peers at the National Housing Conference in August. The Australasian Award Winners will then be announced at the Awards Gala Dinner on the 27th of August 2019 in Darwin during the National Housing Conference.
