About Pets At Our Place

We’re proud to announce the first ever Pets At Our Place 2025 calendar is now live!  

Pets At Our Place recognises and rewards the great companionship pets provide renters in public and community housing. Through a series of colourful and cute photographs, the calendar showcases the variety of pets living with their owners in public and community housing across Victoria.  

It is also a way to recognise residents’ commitment to fostering a sense of community with the help of their furry, woolly, and feathery pets.

Thank you to the huge number of residents who shared their pet story, and congratulations to the 12 successful entrants who feature in this year's calendar.

Thank you to all local housing offices and community housing organisations for encouraging public and social housing renters to enter this exciting competition, as well as the Victorian Public Tenants Association (VPTA) for their ongoing support with promoting Pets At Our Place. 

Where can I collect a calendar?

The 2025 calendars are available for collection from DFFH local housing offices and a number of community housing organisations around the state. There are a limited number of calendars available, with calendars only available in hard copy and not for individual sale.
