Housing Seeker User Group

We want the Housing Hub to be the perfect one-stop-shop for you – where you can easily learn about what home and support options might be possible, get advice and expert support, find a great home (and/or housemate) that suits your needs and lifestyle, and solve any problems that might come up.

But we can’t do it without you.

What is this?

  • The Housing Seeker User Group is a select team of people with disability who need to find a home – who share their insights and experiences to make the Housing Hub work better. The user group may have a number of members who are supporting a loved one who has disability to find a home.
  • Learning about your needs, your ideas, and the challenges you face when finding the right home will help us build features on the Housing Hub that work in the real world.
  • Being part of the user group gives you a direct say in how we develop products and services.

Exclusive Member Benefits

✔ Payment – Housing Hub Seeker User Group members will be paid for their time.

✔ Early access to new features – Be the first to test new tools and features. You'll often get a look at products weeks or months before they're available to other users of the Housing Hub.

✔ See your ideas come to life – We'll keep you updated on how your input gets turned into real features. You'll see the direct impact of your insights on Housing Hub products and services.

✔ Connect with other housing seekers – Get to know other User Group members who understand your challenges and opportunities.

How We Work Together

  • 4 sessions per year – roughly once every 3 months. Each session runs for about 90 minutes.
  • Online meetings and flexible planning – User Group sessions happen online, so you can join from wherever suits you. We'll work hard to find session times that fit into your schedule.
  • Simple preparation – We'll send you anything you need to know about before each session. We keep preparation time to a minimum – usually no more than 30 minutes.
  • Sharing your story – We’re keen to talk with you about ways we can help share your experience with other housing seekers, housing providers and the market. 
  • Your commitment – We ask members for a 12 month commitment (4 User Group sessions). This helps us plan and means you get to see how your insights get implemented.
