About the organisation
Homeshare Australia & New Zealand Alliance (HANZA Inc.) is the peak body for homesharing in our region.
Homeshare brings together people who need support to stay at home with people seeking affordable accommodation — creating mutually beneficial living arrangements that support ageing in place, independence, and housing security.
HANZA supports the development and sustainability of homeshare programs — we don’t deliver services directly. Our focus is on enabling others: individuals, communities, and organisations. We provide strategic leadership, advocacy, shared learning, and practical tools to help others lead successful homesharing initiatives.
