The Women’s Housing Company would like to share that our CEO Debbie Georgopoulos has resigned to take up an exciting new role as Chief of Staff to the Hon Rose Jackson MP, NSW Minister for Housing, Homelessness, Water, Mental Health, Youth and the North Coast.
In her seven years at the helm, Debbie has transformed Women’s Housing Company into Australia’s largest specialist housing organisation. Under her leadership , we have doubled the number of homes under management and homelessness support programs, achieved Tier 1 status as a community housing provider, as well as ASES (Australian Service Excellence Standards) accreditation, and greatly expanded our services and partnerships.
Debbie’s tireless advocacy in NSW and at the national level have helped to put Women’s Housing Company and the housing and homelessness issues facing women front and centre of policy debate and solutions. She has led a team of professional, passionate women and mentored many others outside the organisation.
The Board, Patron and team will miss Debbie’s energy, passion and leadership, but we wish her every success for the future.
We will immediately commence an open recruitment process for a new CEO to ensure a smooth leadership transition and the continuity of our business operations.

A wonderful handover this week of 11 new homes in North Parramatta for the Women’s Housing Company from the NSW Land and Housing Corporation, built by BlueSox Developments. Thank you to everyone involved, making it possible to provide new homes for women and children on the waiting list. These are beautiful examples of modern social housing.
The Women’s Housing Company is pleased to launch the Education Scholarship Program, designed to help tenants and their children to achieve their goals through education and training. This initiative, backed by a generous donation from WHC Patron, the Honourable Ros Kelly AO, will provide successful applicants with up to $2,000 in financial support to pursue training and study.
