Brett Hanna
Chief Executive Officer
Commencing with the organisation in 2004, Brett has played an integral role in the restructure, development and growth of Regional Housing into one of the leaders of Community Housing in Regional Queensland.
Brett has an extensive history in management roles in the construction and human services industries.
With a background of building, developing, and supervising large commercial developments on the Gold Coast, as well as managing resorts and asset maintenance companies, Brett’s distinctly different career paths have come together as the social housing sector has evolved in recent years.
Brett has worked for over 20 years in frontline homeless services in management roles in large youth organisations both on the Gold Coast and in Bundaberg.
He has a Graduate Diploma in Social Science (Housing Management & Policy) as well as a number of relevant certificate qualifications in management and community services fields.
Brett is also heavily involved in a number of regional, state, and national networks and has a vast history spanning over 25 years of volunteering his time to homelessness services.
Brett’s vision, ‘Every Person has a Home’, also became the vision for Regional Housing. With Social Housing becoming much more commercially oriented, Brett is excited about the future direction for the sector and is looking forward to combining his development experience with his deep knowledge of housing & homelessness to result in quality housing outcomes for people in need.
