Victorian Resident Advisory Committee (VRAC)

VRAC has been exceptionally busy the past few months. For the first time the committee is at capacity with 12 extraordinary members. Welcome to new members Tadros and Margaret. VRAC looks forward to the lived experience you bring to the committee. Members reformed a work group, and is producing a first, communications guidelines document. That includes recommendations about how Housing Choices staff write different correspondence and communicate to residents. For example, Home Stories , letters, publications and policy. Members came together in June to enjoy their annual mid-year luncheon. It’s one way Housing Choices acknowledge the committee's contributions and is opportunity for members to socially come together. If you would like to know more about VRAC, contact the Community Development and Engagement Team on, 1300 312 447 or email communitydevelopmentvic @hcau.org.au
