Got an idea for a webinar for the 2026 program? We’d love to hear from you.
As part of Sustainable House Day 2026, we’ll be running a month-long series of online events exploring the practical side of sustainable, affordable, and resilient living. From electrification and home retrofits to community resilience, disaster preparedness, and renter-friendly solutions — we’re looking for ideas that spark meaningful conversations and help people take the next step at home.
If you have an idea for a webinar, panel discussion, or digital event that fits the SHD theme, we’d love to collaborate. Whether you’re an expert, designer, council officer, builder, or community organiser, get in touch and tell us what you’d like to share. Together, we can create a national program that helps Australians make their homes more comfortable, affordable, and climate-ready.
