Strategic Alliance with Western Sydney University
In April 2019, Western Sydney University Chancellor, Professor Peter Shergold and Wentworth’s Chair, Ken Gilbert signed a Strategic Alliance agreement. Our shared concern for and engagement with the wellbeing of the region creates a natural synergy between the two organisations.
With a commitment to collaborate on research and advocacy for the region around housing, homelessness and related social issues impacting on vulnerable and disadvantaged people in communities, the alliance sets a framework for collaboration.
Current strategic priorities include:
- Domestic violence, housing precarity and related issues
- Innovative low-cost low rent housing models such as tiny homes, garden flats, and others
- Community responses to house people who are sleeping rough in encampments
- Solutions to energy poverty.
