About us

Built by people who know how government funding works.

Supply Help comes from the team behind Grant Help, an Australian-owned government grant advisory. We're bringing that funding and compliance experience to community housing delivery.

Our story

Funding is in place. We help turn it into homes.

At Grant Help we spend every day helping Australian organisations find, apply for and manage government funding. Community housing has the same pattern we see elsewhere: the money is committed, but delivering it takes networks and capacity that most organisations don't hold in-house.

Housing Australia funded 18,650 new social and affordable homes in Rounds 1 and 2, yet by May 2026 only 1,432 had been delivered. Mid-tier providers have the dwelling targets and the community relationships. What they often lack is one partner who can align funding, bring in vetted builders and prefab supply, and keep delivery on track to June 2029.

That is the gap we're building Supply Help to close, starting with one provider in each jurisdiction.

How we work

Four principles.

Delivery over paperwork

We measure success in homes built and upgraded, not applications lodged.

Verified once

Evidence is collected once and reused. Nobody is asked for the same document twice.

Providers first

Community housing providers set the brief. Partners are matched to it, not the other way round.

State by state

Every jurisdiction works differently, so we map each one properly before we scale.

Acknowledgement of Country

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live and work, and pay our respects to Elders past and present.

Safe, secure and affordable housing is fundamental to strong communities. First Nations housing organisations are named partners in HAFF consortia, and we will work alongside them in the consortia we help bring together.
