Housing Appeals Committee

About Housing Appeals Committee

The appeals committee is the second stage of appeals tenants(or applicants for public and community housing) can pursue. The committee is made up of professionals who have expertise in the areas of public and community housing, health, welfare, disability, cultural awareness, and ATSI issues. An application for appeal must generally be lodged to the Committee within 3 months after the decision of the Senior Manager (first level of appeals). The Committee cannot reverse a decision made by the Department or community housing provider, but can strongly recommend they change their decision. Housing providers must report to the committee on their appeal outcome.
