Welcome to HAAG

Housing for the Aged Action Group (HAAG) assists older private renters, holds regular general meetings, has an annual statewide forum, visits country regions of Victoria, conducts research, runs campaigns, and meets with government representatives on critical housing issues for older people.

There are 4 main services offered:

  • Housing Options
  • Private Renters Assistance
  • Outreach Care & Housing
  • Retirement Housing Advice and Support

Mary (Molly) Hadfield OAM inspires our struggle to ensure the right of all Victorians to a decent home.

Molly was a founding member of HAAG 26 years ago. Her Medal of the Order (OAM) was granted on Australia Day 2006 for Community Service for Aged Care, Health & Youth.

**News Breaking**

HAAG was quite disturbed recently to see an article in The Melbourne Times that quoted a recommendation from the Tenants Union of Victoria for 50% of public housing to be transferred to private housing associations.

Members will be aware that HAAG has campaigned for many years against the transfer of public housing. Our main concerns are that public housing provides a number of protections that either are not provided or cannot be guaranteed in the private sector.

HAAG is in the process of planning a forum on the issue of tenants’ rights and transfer of public housing. We will let you know about this very soon.
