Types of housing

Housing Choices Australia owns and manages long-term properties, ranging from apartments and units to single dwelling homes, including those under the National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS) in Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia.

Allocation of properties is in accordance with state-based eligibility criteria and household size to ensure an appropriate fit. Matching residents with the appropriate housing model, location, community and allied services is key to the success of our tenancies.

Most of our housing well-designed, well-built, housing stock indistinguishable from any other apartment block or house on the street. We also have several housing options appropriate for people with specific needs, including:

Specialist Disability Accomodation

Housing Choices is one of Australia’s leading providers of specialist disability housing. We dedicate at least 25% of all our tenancies to people with disability. We work with residents to provide the best housing and tenancy solution for their needs. All our properties are managed by trained housing officers in conjunction with our Specialist Housing Group. Housing Choices is an accredited provider of specialist disability accommodation under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NRAS) and is developing a larger portfolio of fit-for-purpose properties to meet increasing need.
