About the awards
Celebrating sector excellence
The Australian Community Housing National Awards is our most prestigious annual celebration.
​
Each year, the community housing sector comes together to recognise the people, organisations and teams who go above and beyond to deliver homes, create opportunity, and strengthen communities across Australia.
These Awards honour those who embody innovation, collaboration and care, leaders who drive change, support their colleagues, and improve the lives of tenants every day.
​
In 2026, the Awards Ceremony will be held at the National Arboretum in Canberra. A spectacular setting for an unforgettable evening celebrating excellence across the sector.
​
​Winners announced at the National Awards Ceremony, on Tuesday 17 November 2026.​
​
​​Nominations are open!
​
Eleven award categories recognise excellence across community housing. From Community Housing Providers and outstanding individuals, to industry partners, government leadership, innovative developments, sustainability initiatives, tenant voice, community impact and sector storytelling.
