The very first meeting of the Tenants' Union of NSW was held 40 years ago today, on August 17th 1976. We are now 40 years strong.
Past and present staff and board members of the Tenants' Union, celebrating 40 years of advocacy
We've been building up to this milestone all year. We launched our celebrations with a BBQ at Northcott Towers, sharing food and cake with good friends and colleagues. We've shared 40 moments from our organisation and our network's history, reflecting on the great work of tenants' advocates past and present. And we've compiled a 40th anniversary bumper edition of the Tenants' News.
On Monday we threw a bit of a birthday bash, including a half-day forum on the future of tenants' rights. We've already shared some of the best bits on Facebook, and we'll be adding a few more over the next couple of days.
Oh, and we've produced a half-hour movie that tells our story. We're really quite proud of it - we'd love for you to check it out.
Happy anniversary, Tenants Union of NSW!

From 2009 to 2019 the Brown Couch was a place where tenants could catch up on the latest news, be cheaply entertained, and commune with their fellow tenants. New posts will be added to www.tenants.org.au/blog. Join us there!
