OPENING HOURS

Community Housing Registration
We are registered as a Tier 3 Community Housing Provider with the National Regulatory System for Community Housing (NRSCH). NRSCH registration gives the assurance you need that The Disability Trust provides quality housing and tenancy management. Unlike most generalist housing providers, we specialise in housing and tenancy management for people with disability and this is reflected as part of our registration. We are proud to be able to bring our expertise in relation to the needs of people with disability into the social and community housing space.
Our quality systems for tenants and the homes in which they live include:
- Regular housing inspections and maintenance reports
- Tenancy satisfaction surveys and feedback mechanisms
- Accessible choice and control initiatives to support tenants’ rights to select flatmates and have say about shared living arrangements
- Individualised tenancy accommodation agreements
- Quality asset management systems
- Centralised separate line management expertise for housing asset management and maintenance
These quality systems reflect and ensure The Disability Trust can realise its commitments to support the rights of tenants with disability.
