🌟 Celebrating International Women’s Day at Westside Housing 🌟
Today our team came together for a wonderful lunch to celebrate International Women’s Day — a moment to recognise the strength, resilience, leadership and contributions of women in our community and across our organisation. 💜
To continue the spirit of care and community, all untouched catering from our event was donated to the Western Food Hub on Port Road. Their incredible work helps ensure that no child grows up hungry, alone, or feeling unloved — because every child matters. 🧡
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating, supporting and uplifting women today, and to the Western Food Hub for the vital support they provide to families in our local community.

🌿 Commemorating the 18th Anniversary of the National Apology
Today marks 18 years since the National Apology to the Stolen Generations, a moment of truth-telling, acknowledgement, and deep significance for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across the country.
At Westside Housing Company Ltd, we pause to honour the strength, resilience, and enduring cultural wisdom of Stolen Generations survivors, their families, and communities. The impacts of past government policies continue to be felt today, and the work of reconciliation remains as important as ever.
Please feel free to join the community in reflecting on this history at the Walk of Awareness across Birkenhead Bridge a powerful annual event that brings people together in solidarity, remembrance, and commitment to a more just future.
As a community housing provider, we recognise that safe, secure, and culturally informed housing plays an essential role in healing and self determination. We remain committed to walking alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in meaningful partnership and respect.
🖤💛❤️
Always was. Always will be.

Westside was recently involved in the Community Housing Arts Awards (CHARTs) and was proud to support our tenants who entered. The awards night was held last week, with a fabulous field of artists who live in community housing. What a great night and a great exhibition! We are blown away by the art that was exhibited and were chuffed that one of Westside's tenants was a finalist, with her beautiful work 'Pine Forest'. The exhibition is well worth a visit and is on until 17 December at The Mill Gallery, 154 Angas St, Adelaide.🤩🎨
