Ethel Residences is more than a place to live. It is a community where people have found connection, stability and a place to call home.
Completed in 2025, this project was the first to be delivered by the BHC-QIC Consortium with institutional investment from Australia Retirement Trust, support from the Queensland Government, and financing from Housing Australia.
Recently recognised with the inaugural UDIA Queensland Made for People: Enriching Communities Award, Ethel Residences is an example of how safe, secure and affordable housing can crate lasting community impact.
In this video, residents and staff reflect on the journey of Ethel Residences and the impact that safe, secure and affordable housing has had on the lives of those who call it home.
Thank you to everyone who generously shared their experiences and helped share this story.
