Prospective members must apply to PowerHousing Australia via a capability statement application, which can be downloaded from this website.

- Public-private partnerships – members must be established business organisations that are currently facilitating partnerships with government and private entities, or are planning to do so in the near future
- Regional scope – Operate on a regional or nationwide basis with accountability to civic leadership of the area they serve
- Collaborative culture – a history of collaborating with peer organisations to improve current practices and to seek out new opportunities
- Readiness for peer-to-peer exchange - readiness to engage in peer-to-peer exchanges, whereby, members share best practice ideas, share learning and innovation and develop performance standards and benchmarks with their peers. This also includes a readiness to collaborate with other members to identify and develop affordable housing opportunities
The capability statement is then reviewed by the 3-panel PowerHousing Board, who will contact referees and conduct one-on-one interviews to discern suitability for membership. If the organisation meets the membership criteria the submission will be referred onto the members for election.
