About HousingWORKS


HousingWORKS is the premier journal for the social, affordable and community housing sector in Australia and New Zealand. Our publication speaks directly to housing professionals across this highly specialised and challenging sector, supporting colleagues and organisations to be the best they can.


Each issue delivers a combination of inspiration, insight and practical knowledge. We showcase award-winning projects and initiatives that demonstrate what's possible, while enlightening readers with new research and emerging information about the sector locally. Through international partnerships including the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) in the UK and the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO) in the USA, we provide exclusive member-access information that broadens perspectives and reveals innovative approaches to universal housing challenges from around the globe.


By bringing together information from both close to home and further afield, we encourage Australasian housing professionals, housing bodies and community housing providers to raise the bar, generating vital conversation and keeping that conversation going. If you work in the sector, HousingWORKS is essential reading - not available anywhere else - for housing professionals, about housing and housing professionals, by housing professionals.

New HousingWORKS Edition: Lifting Our Gaze

Vol. 20, Number 2


The June 2025 edition of HousingWORKS is available now. 


This edition's theme, 'Lifting Our Gaze', encourages us to look beyond our Australasian borders to discover what's happening in the housing sector across the globe. We explore how common challenges are being tackled internationally, recognising that we can learn more than we might expect from other countries - especially those addressing challenges we're yet to experience, or are about to face.


'Lifting Our Gaze' also means looking to specialists outside our sector who possess knowledge we can benefit from. A prime example is our featured article from Dentons lawyers on artificial intelligence and compliance, providing crucial information that housing professionals need to know now, before poor AI practices become embedded in our work.


As always, this edition showcases a wealth of articles highlighting excellent projects and the passionate people working in social, community and affordable housing - including an introduction to the ahi's new CEO, Harry Smith. These stories demonstrate exactly why we keep doing what we do, and remind us of the real impact our sector has on communities across Australia and New Zealand.


Keep an eye out for your HousingWORKS password which we'll send via email.
