Unis Goh

For the past 30 years, Unis Goh has been dedicated to advancing the important role that social housing plays in addressing the increasing need for accessible and affordable housing for NSW’s most disadvantaged citizens. In 2024, Unis was appointed to the NSW Ministerial Advisory Council on Ageing (MACA)  by the Minister for Senior for a 4 years’ term.  

As part of her long and distinguished career in human services, Unis has served as deputy chair of the Disability Council of NSW. She has also been awarded with the Public Service Medal for outstanding contribution to the NSW community services industry in 2009, largely due to her work leading the team that co-designed the NSW Performance Based Registration System for community housing organizations. The system effectively shifted the culture of simply providing government funding to running a viable and sustainable community housing system. 

Unis continues to work in a voluntary capacity with community housing, homelessness and disability organizations to promote the rights of all people to affordable, secure, accessible housing and gender equality. She was recognized for the lasting impact of her work by the NSW Government. In March 2023, Unis was awarded with the NSW Women of the Year Award, as a finalist. She also works as a volunteer Primary Ethics Teacher at her local Public School and recently she is involved in the local council as one of the community Net Zero Champions, raising awareness about taking responsibility in caring for the natural resources to sustain the planet for a better future.  Unis’ strength is pulling people together in advancing good practices in services and is looking forward to be a contributing member at MACA in advancing Ageing well into 2031!
