GOOD NEIGHBOUR AWARD
This category is open to all ages and the main award for the Good Neighbour program. It recognises an outstanding neighbour from the SCH tenant community. This person may go above and beyond for their neighbours, may have done something that benefits their community or consistently embodies the Southern Cross Housing values of being Respectful, Ethical, Empathetic, or Innovative. They are the parson you think of when you hear ‘Good Neighbour’.
