Our Mission

ACHIA NSW’s Mission is to relieve the poverty, suffering and disadvantage of Aboriginal people in NSW, and to advance their welfare, by supporting NSW Aboriginal Community Housing Providers (ACHPs) to provide decent, affordable and safe housing for their tenants.

We work in service of our Mission by, among other things:

• providing information, training and research to build and maintain the capacity of NSW Aboriginal Community Housing Providers;
• sharing information amongst, and facilitating communication between, Aboriginal Community Housing Providers to support and promote best practice;
• raising awareness of the need of NSW Aboriginal Community Housing Providers within the general community, other community housing providers and governments;
• contributing to the development of law and policy on community housing for Aboriginal people in NSW;
• representing the interests of NSW Aboriginal Community Housing Providers in the community and with governments; and
• collaborating with stakeholders including tenants, community housing providers and their representative bodies to collectively create more and better housing for Aboriginal families in NSW.
