Coronavirus Resources

CHIA Vic is supporting the vital work of community housing organisations as we navigate this crisis.

CHIA Vic is working with DHHS and our members to provide the resources and assistance needed for the community housing sector to adapt and continue to operate safely throughout the coronavirus pandemic.

Additional training has been created and all training is now being delivered online.

If there are any specific issues for which support or resources are needed, or if you have information you wish to share with the wider sector, please let us know.

The CHIA Vic office is closed and staff can be contacted directly on their mobiles, via email or via messages left on the office phone on 9654 6077. Members contacting CHIA Vic in relation to Coronavirus issues should contact Jason on Jason.perdriau@chiavic.com.au. Further contact details are available on the staff contact page.
