Housing for the Aged Action Group welcomes older people of all backgrounds, identities and abilities to access our Home at Last and Retirement Housing advice services, to participate in our organisation and our campaigns for housing justice, and to work with us.

We aim to provide culturally appropriate support, referrals and opportunities for participation for these specific groups:

Multicultural Communities   LGBTI Community   Aboriginal Elders

Diversity in Action

• HAAG works to actively engage groups and individuals from culturally diverse communities in information about HAAG’s services through use of bi-lingual workers and in-language brochures. Our Culturally and Linguistically Diverse working group meets monthly and informs our service delivery.
• HAAG is Rainbow Tick accredited and actively engages the LGBTIQA+ communities through partnerships with organisations and via our working group, which meets monthly to inform our work.
• HAAG has a Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan 
• HAAG will begin working with disability groups, Veterans, care leavers, Forgotten Australians and Indigenous groups and acknowledges that much more work needs to be done in these areas.
• HAAG maintains links to appropriate services, such as Aboriginal, ethno-specific and LGBTI services, and works to strengthen and maintain networks with these organisations and services.
• HAAG strives for diverse representation amongst our staff, Committee, volunteers and members
