Our Services
Authority services are primarily driven by client demand and are directed
at isolated rural communities and areas of the State where there is an
inadequate private rental market. Housing for teachers must be provided
in these locations to ensure that schools and colleges are appropriately
staffed.
The Authority currently owns or manages some 1500 houses and villa units
throughout the State. These are leased to teachers at market rates of
rental.
The operations of the Authority involve close liaison with the Department of Education and Training regarding the housing needs of teachers in schools and TAFE colleges in country areas of the State.
