Victorian Resident Advisory Committee Our Victorian Resident Advisory Committee (VRAC) have had a busy 2023. This year, we’ve seen an extraordinarily near full committee, with only one spot left! It’s has been an honour to continue to welcome and work alongside longstanding members and welcome and meet several new members, who bring such diverse professional and personal lived experience.
I have thoroughly enjoyed participating in high level talks amongst my fellow VRAC members who are also residents of the Housing Choices portfolio. Reggie I am enjoying taking part in VRAC; meeting with likeminded people (residents) with diverse and similar experiences and having the opportunity to give back. Leah
This year, VRAC has discussed and explored many topics. With key recommendations being fed back to Housing Choices management for consideration and implementation. In June, VRAC joined the Community Development and Engagement Team for lunch at The Mint, where we enjoyed each other’s company without the need for an agenda! It was a wonderful time for VRAC members to get to know one another, share stories, and have a laugh. Upcoming plans include an induction workshop, the actioning of working groups, development and printing of a VRAC Handbook, a national advisory committees meetup, and an end of year luncheon.
If you would like more information about VRAC or are interested in filling our last Committee spot send an email to the Community Development and Engagement Team communitydevelopmentvic@hcau.org.au.
