  • In the Victorian political system, the State Minister for Housing is a State Government cabinet position responsible for Housing.

Housing Commission remains the common colloquial term for public housing estates and developments in Victoria, particularly the inner city tower estates built in the late 1950s and 1960s by Liberal State Governments. The Housing Commission towers were planned as a major capital work solution to urban ghettoisation. These 20 storey towers loom over many of the inner suburbs in Melbourne, and are usually built in 2–6 tower configurations. Many blocks of occupied terrace and style housing were cleared and towers of 10 apartments a floor built, surrounded by gardens and car parks.
