Impact Housing Alliance is a national collaboration platform bringing together leaders across health, housing, disability, aged care, mental health, government, and community services to address Australia’s most complex housing and care system challenges.

​

Impact Housing Events

Impact Housing Events is a National events platform for all Impact Housing Alliance conferences, summits and forums.

​

Through this platform, we deliver a diverse portfolio of solution-driven leadership events, including:

• Hospital-to-Home Summits addressing delayed discharge, bed block and post-acute care

• Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and NDIS collaborative events, delivered in partnership with NDISDA

​

Beyond Shelter, Community & Education Events

Through Impact Housing Events, we deliver a comprehensive program of national and state-based events designed to strengthen capability, inform practice, and support system-wide improvement across housing, health, disability, mental health, and community services.

​

Our events extend beyond conferences and summits to include educational forums, workshops, seminars, leadership breakfasts, and networking events, ensuring professionals remain informed, connected, and equipped to respond to ongoing reform and sector pressures.

​

Beyond Shelter Events & Programs 

The Beyond Shelter event series focuses on populations experiencing heightened vulnerability, recognising that safe housing alone is not sufficient without integrated, trauma-informed supports.

These forums bring together practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and service leaders to explore effective responses for:

• Mental health and psychosocial recovery, including post-acute care and community-based supports

• Youth in crisis, early intervention, prevention of homelessness, and transition pathways

• Women and children fleeing domestic and family violence, with a focus on safety, recovery, and long-term stability

• Beyond Shelter events prioritise lived experience, evidence-based practice, and system design, supporting coordinated responses beyond crisis and into sustainable community living.

​

Community & Social Impact Housing Forums

We host targeted forums addressing community housing, social impact housing, and housing supply, with a strong emphasis on integration with health, disability, aged care, and mental health systems.

These events explore:

• Housing supply challenges and place-based solutions

• Integration of housing with care and support systems

• Transitional, adaptive, and supported housing models

• Partnerships between government, community housing providers, health services, and the private sector

​

Educational Workshops, Seminars & Leadership Briefings

Impact Housing Events delivers a year-round program of educational and professional development activities, including:

Regulatory update seminars covering sector reforms, legislative changes, and compliance requirements

• Government briefings and policy updates impacting housing, disability, mental health, aged care, and community services

• Research-informed sessions presenting the latest evidence, data, and social impact insights

• Workforce development forums, addressing capability, retention, wellbeing, and emerging skill needs

• Safety, quality, compliance and audit readiness workshops

• Mental health education sessions, supporting trauma-informed, recovery-oriented practice

• Formats include in-person and virtual workshops, leadership breakfasts, roundtables, and networking events, enabling accessible learning and meaningful professional connection.

​

Our Commitment

Across all events, Impact Housing Alliance is committed to:

• Building sector capability and shared understanding

• Supporting evidence-based, person-centred practice

• Enabling collaboration across traditionally siloed systems

• Translating policy, research and reform into practical action

• Strengthening outcomes for individuals, families and communities

 

Through Beyond Shelter forums, community and social impact housing events, and educational workshops delivered in partnership with sector leaders, Impact Housing Events provides a trusted platform for learning, collaboration and system improvement.

​

​Each event is intentionally designed as a cross-sector solution platform, bringing together senior decision-makers, practitioners, policymakers, service providers, housing developers, and system innovators.

​

Our Purpose

Across all programs and events, Impact Housing Alliance exists to:

• Strengthen hospital-to-home and crisis-to-stability pathways

• Support integrated housing and care models for high-need populations

• Bridge gaps between health, disability, housing, mental health, and community services

• Promote collaboration, innovation, and evidence-based reform

• Enable safer, more sustainable transitions into community living

​

Through Impact Housing Events, Beyond Shelter forums, and SDA collaborations with NDISDA, we provide a trusted national platform where policy meets practice, partnerships are formed, and real system change begins.
