Join us for a celebration marking 51 years of national housing advocacy, reform, and impact.
Fifty-one is a prime number and a fitting symbol for who we are today: a strong, independent voice for safe, secure and affordable housing, shaped by five decades of advocacy and partnership and a network that has never stopped pushing for better and more secure outcomes, particularly for those with the least housing choice.
This event will bring together Shelter organisations, housing leaders, advocates, partners, and friends at the National Press Club in Canberra to celebrate that history and recognise the people and organisations that have helped advance housing reform across the country.
It is also an important moment to come together. Australia’s housing challenges continue to demand long-term thinking, strong advocacy and collaboration across governments, the community sector and industry. Our 51st anniversary gives us an opportunity not only to reflect on what has been achieved, but to consider what comes next.
Held alongside the release of the 2026 National Rental Affordability Index and National Council meeting, this is an opportunity to celebrate our shared history and help shape the next chapter of housing reform.
