4worldlovers: Housing Choices Australia is an independent, national, not-for-profit housing provider that delivers high quality affordable housing for people on low to moderate incomes and for people with disability. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to live in a safe, comfortable, affordable home, in a community they feel a part of.

International social housing architect, Manuel Der Hagopian recently captivated an audience at The Capitol in Melbourne where Housing Choices hosted the Oswald Barnett Oration, a flagship sector event designed to engender ideas and partnerships in the social and affordable housing sector.

The Board of Housing Choices Australia has appointed David Fisher to the position of Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

Each year the Housing Choices Australia Annual Report celebrates our people, projects and partnerships and the positive outcomes achieved for our residents.

4worldlovers: Unison is a not-for-profit organisation that provides a range of services to foster strong communities. We develop, own and manage social, transitional and affordable housing; and we provide owners corporate management and cleaning and ground services.

The people Unison provides housing and property services to come from many different walks of life, but they all want to live in a safe, welcoming and thriving community. They want to feel supported and connected to their community, and be proud of where they live.

In addition, we provide homelessness services in Melbourne's West. We connect people to safe and affordable short and medium-term accommodation combined with support to address any issues that may have contributed to their tenuous housing situation. We also help people re-establish and maintain a secure home in the private rental market.

We believe that a thriving community needs a range of housing options to suit different people’s circumstances and incomes. We manage many different types of housing, from single dwellings to multi-storey towers, providing different housing pathways to the community.

As a not-for-profit organisation, we reinvest our operating surplus back into our services, our properties and our communities. Importantly, this allows us to invest in the development of much needed affordable housing. It makes good social sense.

Unison is about more than housing - we are about communities that thrive.
