Our Communities

Veteran Housing Australia (VHA) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Carry On, a long standing Veteran charity. VHA is a Registered Community Housing Provider that will provide affordable housing options for the Veteran community. We currently own and maintain 101 properties across Victoria in regional hubs including Ballarat, Bendigo, Geelong, Mildura, Dandenong, and Rosebud. VHA provides secure, affordable, long-term rental housing for Veterans and their families who are experiencing homelessness and/or financial hardship. We also provide temporary emergency housing for Veterans and their families who are vulnerable to experiencing homelessness.

Our current Victorian branch locations and the housing solutions available are detailed below, however, our portfolio is growing to include other destinations around Australia.

Bendigo

The Bendigo branch was opened in 2000 with the prospect of opening a small village of Independent Living Units for the aged. Today it’s home to 14 one-bedroom units in Kangaroo Flat

Mildura

With 18 one-bedroom units in Mildura and another 14 in Red Cliffs, our Mildura branch is our biggest yet. In 1934 the Mildura branch was established, and over the years it has provided support services for many needy ex-service men and women in the district, as well as their families

Dandenong

Situated in Noble Park, our Dandenong Branch is spread across two locations in Charnfield Cres and Heatherton Rd. Our Dandenong branch runs a handful of two-bedroom units that have housed veterans and their families since the early 1970’s. Since launching, the team has helped numerous people who were at the time not eligible for the service pension, providing welfare and friendly support.

Rosebud

In a quiet backstreet of Rosebud, you’ll find six spacious one-bedroom units making up our Peninsula branch. Operating across the Mornington Peninsula area since 1971, the Peninsula branch is responsible for the largest geographical area of all the branches.

Geelong

Situated on the corner of a quiet suburban street and with a park across the road, our ten beautifully presented one-bedroom units in Norlane are close to everything Geelong has to offer. Constructed in 1992, VHA Geelong is the only branch that was formed entirely by veterans of Vietnam and Korea.

Ballarat

Our second biggest branch in Victoria is in Wendouree and here you’ll find 23 one-bedroom units. Spread across two separate streets, our Ballarat branch is surrounded by local parks and nearby shops, making it easily accessible to all those who live there
