Australian Alliance to End Homelessness (AAEH): Advance to Zero National Showcase
Believe that ending homelessness is possible?
Want to discover how communities across Australia are charting a path towards ending homelessness?
With the generous support of our major event sponsor, Neami National, the Australian Alliance to End Homelessness (AAEH) invites you to the Advance to Zero National Showcase to learn about how communities across Australia are working to end homelessness as part of the Advance to Zero (AtoZ) Campaign.
The AtoZ Campaign is a groundbreaking national initiative of the AAEH that supports local collaborative community efforts to end homelessness, starting with rough sleeping – one community at a time. Using a range of proven approaches from around the world, communities are supported not just to address individual instances of homelessness, or even reduce overall homelessness, but to end it altogether.
The showcase will provide the opportunity to hear directly from communities involved with the AtoZ Campaign and explain how you can get involved. There will also be a presentation on the overall campaign, how it works, and what it’s seeking to achieve.
With more than 30 Australian communities participating in the campaign, inspired by a growing number of communities in the US and Canada that have ended homelessness, this event is not to be missed.
The event is being held to coincide with the AHURI National Housing Conference, October 10th-12th, 2023, Brisbane.
Places are limited. BOOK NOW!

The ahi: Brighter Future Awards provides the social & affordable housing sector with a platform to recognise and reward those who dedicate their careers to benefiting their community. The Awards formally recognise and reward excellence in professional practice, from the grassroots to the most senior levels. They promote to our colleagues and the community at large the difference that social housing professionals make to people's lives and recognise the contributions and achievements of our colleagues in the many disciplines which make up the housing profession.
This year we received over 100 entries from all over Australia and New Zealand outlining successful projects and inspiring stories. Winners from each jurisdiction are automatically entered into the Australasian awards - so exciting!!!!
The event will include a 2-course meal, drinks and a ceremony celebrating the success of the industry in Australia and New Zealand. Awards will go to housing professionals who are judged to have made a significant and lasting difference: to tenants or service users; to their community; to their colleagues; and to their profession.
