Housing Choices Annual Report 2016-17

2016 - 17

This year has been another exciting period of growth and change, developing internal opportunities for existing staff, as well as welcoming and supporting new talent that has come into the organisation. New team structures have been established to maximise the opportunities arising from the rollout of the NDIS; new arrangements and opportunities have emanated from both state and local governments - where our goal is to be agile, adapting to and taking advantage of policy changes - and there has been strategic development of our private real estate and rental agency, Urban Choices Property.

Housing Choices currently has 117 staff spread across the following teams; • Operations - in Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia • Commercial • Finance • People and Culture • Property Development and Asset Management • Corporate Support A range of key appointments was made to support and resource the new operations team in South Australia, which will be up and running in the second half of 2017.

A nationally-focussed commercial team was formed, with key internal and external appointments including Chief Commercial Officer, Commercial Manager and Manager of Urban Choices Property and NRAS Compliance. Additional business development roles were created to focus on NDIS opportunities and Housing Choices’ future expansion into NSW. A new Housing Services operations team was established in Victoria, with particular focus on disability and older persons.
