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!
​
Nine (9) award categories recognise excellence across community housing. From Community Housing Providers and outstanding individuals, to industry partners, innovative developments, sustainability initiatives, tenant voice, community impact and sector storytelling.
