Wurundjeri Elder Uncle Ron “Ringo” Terrick at Housing Choices Melbourne office for Reconciliation Week.
Broadening and deepening our relationships
A range of First Nations stakeholders have been involved in our service delivery, identifying opportunities for improvement and hosting and attending events and activities. Throughout the year, we have consulted, collaborated and joined with more than 20 First Nations organisations across the country, including supporting the development of Noongar Housing First Principles with an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Housing organisation in WA. In Victoria, Housing Choices has established a relationship with an Aboriginal co-operative, supporting them towards registration as a registered housing agency and sharing our development expertise in preparation for grant funding submissions for new housing supply. As we implement our Innovate RAP actions, these relationships with First Nations stakeholders will broaden and deepen, in the communities where we work. Due to the geographical spread of our service, and the many, many traditional lands on which we work and provide homes and services, we will continue to seek place-based advice of external partners and stakeholders where we can see or become aware that we need it.
