Aboriginal Housing Act 1998

An eligible organisation may apply to the Aboriginal Housing Office to be registered under this Part.

The form and manner of application is to be determined by the AHO.

The AHO may register an eligible organisation under this Part if the AHO is satisfied that the organisation concerned—

provides, or proposes to provide, housing or housing related services for Aboriginal people or Torres Strait Islanders, and

is, having regard to such matters as may be determined by the AHO, suitable to be registered.

The matters referred to in subsection (3) may, without limiting that subsection, include the following—

the level of the applicant’s involvement in the provision of Aboriginal housing or housing related services,

the applicant’s ability to comply with particular standards and targets relating to the delivery of housing or housing related services to Aboriginal people or Torres Strait Islanders.

An applicant for registration must provide such information in connection with the application as the AHO may require.

The regulations may make further provision for or with respect to any matter that relates to the registration of an eligible organisation under this Part.
