Baptcare Affordable Housing’s new PassivHaus project in Sunshine, Melbourne
- 10 Aug 2022
Secure, appropriate and affordable housing is a basic human right.
Homes Victoria and Baptcare with Creation Homes, have collaborated on a new affordable housing project in Sunshine, Melbourne, using a resident-centred approach.
‘PassivHaus’ is an innovative design standard with the intent to dramatically minimise a building’s energy requirement whilst taking advantage of natural factors for heating and cooling to achieve thermal comfort.

Volunteer Spotlight: Jasmine and Jean
We always look forward to National Volunteer Week (held this year from 19 – 25 May) because it is an opportunity to celebrate our stellar volunteers. Jasmine Varghese is just one of our many dedicated ‘vollies’. She is a frequent visitor to our Brookview Aged Care community to meet up with resident Jean Black. We asked Jasmine and Jean to tell us about their connection.
