It is a privilege to congratulate the Southern Highlands Older Women's Network (SHOWN) on the official launch of Homes for Older Women Southern Highlands (HOW‑SH), a compassionate initiative addressing housing insecurity among older women. In September 2026, I attended the successful launch of HOW-SH at Annesley in Bowral. I acknowledge Sue Hayward and Kerry Chater, whose leadership, commitment and determination have helped bring this important initiative to life. I also recognise Yumi Lee, CEO of Older Women's Network NSW, for her advocacy and support. HOW represents more than housing; it represents dignity, security, independence and hope. By connecting women aged 55 and over with safe, affordable accommodation, this initiative offers a practical response to a growing community challenge. The Southern Highlands area has a higher proportion of people aged over 55 years than other parts of NSW. Congratulations to everyone involved. Your work truly makes a difference. May Homes for Older Women - Southern Highlands address housing insecurity among older women in the area, inspire further partnerships and ensure that older women across our region are not left behind.
