Last chance to register! - 3 September - The Australasian Housing Institute (ahi:) is hosting an online webinar on Property and M**h Risk Management for anyone working in and with the Social & Affordable Housing Sector (members or non-members) - don't miss your chance to join us this week!

Many housing organisations provide shelter for people who engage in m**h-related behaviour, and the risk that m**hamphetamine will be used and/or manufactured in owned, leased or managed property is a reality. M**h-related behaviour can expose workers to greater risk of physical and psychosocial harm, and can lead to contamination of property assets - with new regulation governing this introduced in New Zealand in April 2026.

Led by Miles Stratford of Safe and Healthy Home Solutions, an expert in m**h risk management since 2010, this interactive webinar will give you the chance to run a sense check on the m**h risk management systems and processes you have in place, so you can ensure the interests of your staff and tenants are looked after. There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions.

This is your final opportunity to build your knowledge and connect with sector colleagues while learning more about how the AHI can support you - registrations close soon!

Start Time: 11:00AM

29 September - The AHI Victorian Branch Committee is excited to invite you to a site tour of Uniting Housing's Myers Street development in Bendigo - we'd love for you to join us!

Completed in January, this 73-unit project is now home to more than 130 people and is an exemplar of how faith-based organisations like Uniting are reimagining their land holdings and contributing to the community in new and meaningful ways. Built on under-utilised church land next to the historic St Andrews Church, the development blends heritage architecture with contemporary design, and includes a community garden and children's play area at its heart.

Following a 90-minute tour of the development and social housing areas, a catered lunch will be provided by local social enterprise café Peppergreen Farm.

For those coming from Melbourne, you’re invited to meet us at Southern Cross Station at 8:45am to take the train to Bendigo together. Light refreshments will be provided for the journey and you have the option of sitting with sector colleagues and networking. Alternatively you can make your own travel arrangements.

This event is the perfect opportunity to see a standout example of social housing innovation and connect with sector colleagues from CHPs, government agencies and values-aligned private developers.

Please note the tour is strictly limited to 20 attendees, and we kindly ask that only one representative per organisation registers to ensure fair access.
