Link Wentworth Housing We are one of Australia’s largest Community Housing providers and our mission is providing more homes

Link Wentworth believes everyone has a right to a safe and secure home. A place where you can grow, connect with the community and build brighter futures that create positive change. Through sustainable and ongoing growth, we will proactively advocate for the federal and state governments to invest in more social and affordable housing. With COVID-19 exacerbating the housing crisis, housing solutions are needed now more than ever. Our combined entity aims to partner with government, property developers and financiers to fund more social and affordable housing, including leveraging COVID-19 stimulus programs, to help ensure more people do not fall into poverty and homelessness. With 6,400 homes, 10,000 residents and over 200 staff, we are committed to delivering services that help people facing housing stress. Using decades of community driven experience, our work engages the full spectrum of housing need from homelessness services, to social, disability and affordable housing.

🍏 Another fantastic Granny Smith Festival!

Link Wentworth was excited to return as a sponsor of the Granny Smith Festival on the weekend. Donning homemade houses and granny smith apples, our staff and residents proudly walked in the opening parade, then handed out fruit and information at our stall.

We asked festival goers, ‘What makes your community thrive?’ and received over 100 answers about friends, family, green spaces, festivals, neighbours and more. It was another fantastic day showing our support for the Ryde community.

💚 Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello. See you next year!

What a fantastic way to wrap up the school holidays! 🦙🐐🐰
Our 2026 School Holiday Program wrapped up with two days of fun with a petting zoo, giving local families the chance to get up close with alpacas, goats, bunnies and more.

This year the program ran in Cranebrook and Shalvey, helping to bring people together, create lasting memories and strengthen community connections.
A big thank you to everyone who joined in the fun and to our awesome Community Programs Team for making it happen 💙

Last Monday, we were proud to host a smoking ceremony to honour and celebrate a planned extension of Ngarrunga, our women and children’s safety service in the Hawkesbury.

Thanks to funding from the NSW Department of Communities and Justice, the service’s extension will add two two-bedroom units, a communal area and an office space, giving Ngarrunga the capacity to house up to 6 women, their children and their pets at one time.

This extension meets increasing local demand for women and children who need domestic and family violence support in the Hawkesbury. While it is a tragedy that the demand is there, we take seriously our responsibility to meet it, and to continue supporting our local people with safe housing and personal care.

Thank you to Melissa Stubbings and Paul Webb from Merana Aboriginal Community Association for the Hawkesbury INC for the beautiful Welcome to Country and for leading the smoking ceremony on this important milestone in the project.

Lynne is a proud Dunghutti woman living in the Hawkesbury region who found community housing through Link Wentworth. We’re proud to have Lynne as part of our community and to see the positive impact she makes through her advocacy and volunteering.

She knows the relief of having a safe, warm home and now gives back her time to the community as a volunteer with the Country Women’s Association and Hawkesbury’s Helping Hands.

Lynne joined the Community Made campaign to call on our political leaders to commit to more community housing in the upcoming NSW state election in March 2027.

To join the campaign, share your own housing story or find out more, go to communitymade.org.au.
