Supporting our members

Benefits of belonging
We are open to hearing from members at any time – their experiences, questions, concerns, feedback, suggestions and ideas. Listening to our members ensures that we have a good view of the sector and can best represent it in our advocacy and policy work.
We host two formal members’ meetings each year.
Each member can nominate for its representative to join the board of directors for a two-year term.
Storytelling
AHNT staff keep in touch with members to share news of Aboriginal housing and the broader contexts in which it is provided, managed and experienced. Our newsletters celebrate progress and identify challenges and opportunities.
Capacity-building
On this site we compile research reports, strategies, policies and other papers about Aboriginal housing. And we provide various ways to keep up with what’s happening in the field.
We also:
- host an annual conference for networking and exchange, and
- as needed, arrange other workshops to support Aboriginal housing organisations to grow stronger.
Small grants program
AHNT administers a small grants program to strengthen the Aboriginal community housing sector – see the guidelines (PDF, 130kb) and application form (PDF, 262kb).
