National Regulatory Framework

A proposal for a National Regulatory Framework (pdf 352kb) for not-for-profit housing providers undertaking large scale affordable housing projects was approved for public release by Commonwealth, State and Territory Housing Ministers on 5 September 2008.

The proposal identifies mechanisms to achieve a nationally consistent approach to regulating not-for-profit housing providers involved in growth activities.

The Regulatory Framework will only apply to organisations with the capability to operate at scale in partnership with government and the private sector.

The basis of the Framework is a National Regulatory Code setting out outcomes not-for-profit housing providers must meet for registration as a Growth Provider.

The aim of the Framework, once implemented, is to facilitate Growth Providers to operate easily across state and territory borders.

Victoria is working with other states and territories on the implementation of this Framework.
