Be Part of a Brighter Future
The social and affordable housing sector makes a significant and lasting difference in the lives of millions of Australians and New Zealanders.
Since 2004, the Ahi Brighter Future Awards have recognised the contributions made by dedicated housing professionals to their tenants and service users, colleagues and communities.
The awards champion good work and inspire positive change while raising the profile of the sector. Most importantly, the awards showcase how much contributing to the housing sector enriches the lives of those working in it, as well as the communities we serve.

- Collaborate with us to raise the profile of the housing sector in the broader community, helping to attract new talent and investment in the sector.

Our most recent awards saw: 106 nominations across 9 categories, with 561 people attending 7 awards ceremonies, at which we gave out 48 award trophies.
“Winning this was a chance to step back and say: ‘Wow, look how far I’ve come’. I was cleaning toilets for cash in 2017, and now I’m standing here winning an Australasian award for helping women escape DV.”
