Who we are

Understanding the need. Building the solution.

Harnest leads the delivery of social housing, affordable housing and Specialist Disability Accommodation, and is bringing that same depth to the markets now emerging around them. We pair the empathy this housing demands with the commercial discipline it deserves.

What we do

Our Services

From Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), crisis accommodation, transitional housing, social housing and affordable housing to Aboriginal housing, key worker housing, co-living, build to rent (BTR) and larger-scale community outcomes, Harnest delivers homes that are valued by the people who live in them, the organisations that own them, and the communities they anchor. We are not visitors to this sector. We have spent more than fifteen years earning our place in it, and we are here for the decades ahead.
