Remote tenancy support services

The management of remote housing tenancies is done in collaboration with tenancy management support service providers.

The department manages and maintains public housing dwellings in:

• remote communities
• Alice Springs town camps
• Tennant Creek community living areas.

This is done under the National Partnership Agreement for Remote Housing NT (NPRHNT).

How it's delivered

Contractors will help with the management of tenancies.

They will also focus on:

• practical tenancy support activities
• assisting tenants to understand their rights and responsibilities
• promoting healthy living skills through Living Strong.

Regional collaboration

Tenancy management support services contractors are encouraged to work together with the regional housing office to provide and maintain quality services to tenants. Each regional office may hold workshops with providers and regional office staff.

Workshops will serve as an opportunity to:

• provide induction packages for contractors
• provide and explain information on changes to the department’s tenancy management systems, policies and/or procedures
• collaborate on the Living Strong Program and its implementation.
