Not many CEOs can say that everything their organisation earns goes back into giving people a protected place to call home.

At Pacific Link

Housing, that is the whole point. After more than four decades of growth, the Board is looking for its next Chief Executive Officer to lead the Group into its next chapter.

About the Group

Pacific Link Housing is a Tier One registered community housing provider and registered charity.

Our mission is simple: we provide safe, secure and affordable homes for those in need.

Today the Group is home to more than 2,300 residents in over 1,450 homes across six local government areas, with a team of 60 , annual revenue of $20-35m and total assets of more than $100m.

What sets us apart

- We build our own homes. We are one of the few community housing providers that acquires its own sites and delivers greenfield development, reinvesting the margin into more housing. Since 2016 we have completed 159 new homes, with most of our developments winning State and National industry awards. More than 89 homes are in the current pipeline.

- We have diversified with purpose. Key2 Realty (est. 2019) and Renew Projects (est. 2024) are social enterprises whose profits flow straight back to tenant programs and improvements to tenant homes.

- We take on the work that matters. We are leading the development of Imara Place, a Women and Children's Domestic Violence Trauma Recovery Centre backed by a $20 million Australian Government commitment, opening in July 2027.

- We run like a business, with heart. We have just completed a full modernisation of our operational, finance and asset systems, and we have been recognised with multiple awards as an employer of choice.
