Community Housing Workforce Strategy

About the Victorian Community Housing Workforce Strategy

Victoria’s Big Housing Build and other investment in affordable housing will see the community housing sector significantly expand the stock it owns and/or manages.

To deliver on the scale and pace of growth, CHIA Vic has released the Victorian Community Housing Workforce Strategy.

The Workforce Strategy identifies actions to enable the community housing sector to grow and develop the workforce to deliver the Big Housing Build and other housing growth opportunities.

Thank you to Homes Victoria for supporting the production of these resources through the Community Housing Sector Development Fund.

Community Housing Workforce Capability Framework

In implementing actions from the Community Housing Workforce Strategy, we have updated the Community Housing Capability Framework (first published in 2019).

Community housing organisations can use this framework to assess knowledge and skills in their workforce against sector specific capabilities.  The Capability Framework can guide professional development for staff through learning plans and selection of training that targets the key capabilities.
