                    In April 2020, Cory Memery founded the Public Housing Residents Network, bringing together people from all levels of government and a diverse mix of community groups and service providers to help address the needs of public housing residents during the pandemic.

                    ​Cory’s ability to traverse all kinds of social, cultural and political spheres has been instrumental in helping shape the on-the-ground support for this vulnerable community. 

                    His work has led to improved cleaning and hygiene practices including sanitiser dispensers on every floor, improved security, mobile testing units and the provision of masks for all public housing residents in Melbourne and beyond.
