Goulburn Hume Region Program

We have expanded our housing information service for older people to the Goulburn-Hume region, providing information and advice on housing options and practical support for older people at risk of homelessness, thanks to the generosity of the Ian Rollo Currie Foundation.

If you're in the local government areas of Moira, Greater Shepparton, Strathbogie, Mitchell or Murrindindi  and need assistance to find affordable housing, give us a call on 1300 765 178. Our local workers based in the region can answer your questions about housing. They are available to drop in for a face-to-face chat regularly at Tatura, Murchison, Echuca, Cobram and Rushworth.

"As I was walking along the river earlier this morning I realised that for the first time in ages I wasn't thinking about housing, housing, housing. I have finally come home,"
