About Pets At Our Place
Pets At Our Place is a way to celebrate the role pets play in the lives of public and community housing residents in Victoria.
It is our way of saying thank you to residents. With help from their pets, they help make their communities stronger, and more connected.
Whether it is a friendly face in the courtyard, or a reason to explore your local park, pets bring Victorians together.
Twelve residents and their pets will be chosen to be in the Pets At Our Place 2027 Calendar. You must be a public or community housing resident in Victoria to enter.
Got a fish that makes you laugh? A dog that cheers everyone up? A clever cat or rabbit that does tricks? All kinds of pets are welcome!
