Seasons Greetings from CHIA

As 2022 ends, CHIA would like to acknowledge the incredible work of its members, alongside their support and government partners, to provide accommodation and services to some of the most vulnerable in the community. 

We also acknowledge the impact that severe weather events have had on many regions and communities, and how this holiday season will not be the same for many Australians still struggling to recover from the effects of flooding. 

Now more than ever the need for safe, secure and affordable housing has never been greater, particularly with the massive shortfalls that we see across the country. With the change in Federal Government earlier this year, CHIA celebrated the return of housing to the national cabinet and it being a priority for the Albanese Government. CHIA commended Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ housing budget and the National Housing Accord as a breakthrough moment for Australia’s housing affordability crisis. We have also recently celebrated the launch of the first Parliamentary Friends of Housing Group, as the pictures above show. CHIA is delighted to participate in and support the work of this group in Parliament. 

In 2023 CHIA will continue to work with all levels of Government to ensure that the sector is at the forefront of delivering more social and affordable housing. 

We wish you all the very best for a safe, enjoyable and restful holiday season. Thank you for your support this year. 

Best wishes,
CHIA     

CHIA will be closed from Friday 23rd December and will reopen on Monday 9th December 2023
