Regulation

From 1 July 2007, we implemented a new approach to regulatory engagement. Our regulatory framework [pdf 376kb] builds on interim arrangements.

We developed the framework in consultation with currently registered housing agencies, agencies seeking registration, and peak bodies.

Our key aims in delivering regulation are to

• ensure each registered agency is well governed, well managed and financially viable
• protect and ensure accountable use of government assets managed by the affordable housing sector
• build confidence in the public and private sector to invest in and grow affordable rental housing
• ensure quality and continuous improvement in service delivery and outcomes for tenants

We are committed to five principles of good regulation

• transparency
• accountability
• proportionality
• consistency
• targeting
