19 Mystery shopping and tenant inspectors Tenants decide which areas of the service that they want to work on improving first In depth assessment of what works / doesn t work with that service Includes mystery shopping external person or a tenant tests the service (maintenance, enquiry, complaint) and records the results changes made to policy / service as a result Link Housing become the first community housing provider in Australia to win customer service project of the year for its mystery shopper program Customer Services Institute s Australian Service Excellence Awards Results at Link fed directly into their service delivery review and they changed their phone service, provided more training to front line staff and made regular reports on changes to tenants

20 Community Housing Tenant Network Promote effective tenant participation in the community housing sector. Represent the interests of all NSW Community Housing tenants. Comment on and have input to FACS and wider government policy matters. Work toward the involvement of all community housing association tenants. Share information about successful projects and learn from other tenants' experiences. Encourage and support tenant leaders. Promote educational and training opportunities to support tenant participation in the sector.

21 Case study previous management transfers Clear information was provided to public housing tenants about who they can contact to have their questions answered PRIOR to the property transfer. This was critical in order to ensure as many concerns as possible can be addressed prior to the transfer occurring. Consistent communication from FaCS and the CHP is also critical so tenants can see that the information they are receiving is the same. Clear communication strategies must be established by FaCS and the CHP It was critical that FaCS and CHP genuinely understood and responded to tenants concerns

22 Case study previous management transfer Early and ongoing engagement Communication Strategy Series of press releases in each community affected by the property transfer Q & A sheet aligned with the FACS fact sheet Tenant Rent Information Sheet Consultation sessions in every town where the property transfer was occurring Joint visits (FACS and CHP) to tenants + support with paperwork (i.e. CRA application) FACS Project Officer was vital to property transfer process Start planning for engagement post transfer

23 Summary Many ways that CHPs already consult and involve tenants High levels of satisfaction Many other areas CHP support tenants (training, employment, digital inclusion, individual tenant support etc.) Already spend around 10% of management costs on additional tenant and community activity Important and developing area for CHPs who are already scaling up for growth Tenants influence how they ll be consulted Sector has experience from previous transfers

24 Social Housing Management Transfer rights and obligations The CHP must deliver: High quality, fair and transparent services Rights and entitlements including those under Residential Tenancy Agreements fully maintained Protocols and procedures developed to put intent of Policies into practice Tenants and household members satisfied with tenancy management services Meet National Regulatory Code outcomes (including for tenant and housing services)

25 National Regulatory System for Community Housing Registrar in each participating state & territory One Primary Registrar for providers working in more than one state Single, national, publicly-accessible Register of providers Three-tiers of registration depending on size / complexity of CHPs Registration open to any housing provider that meets requirements of National Law Separation of regulatory and funding/policy functions (i.e. FACS has policy / funding decisions)

26 National Regulatory System performance outcomes Tenant and housing services - the community housing provider is fair, transparent and responsive in delivering housing assistance to tenants, Housing assets manage assets effectively Community engagement - the community housing provider works in partnership with relevant organisations to promote community housing and to contribute to socially inclusive communities

27 National Regulatory System performance outcomes Governance - the community housing provider is well governed Probity - the community housing provider maintains high standards of probity relating to the business of the provider Management - the community housing provider manages its resources to achieve the intended outcomes of its policies Financial viability - the community housing provider is financially viable at all times.

28 National Regulatory System for Community Housing Providers must Maintain an appropriate corporate structure Comply with the National Law and Conditions of Registration Comply with the National Regulatory Code Provide information requested by Registrar Allow Registrar to carry out inspections Notify Registrar of things that could have a material impact on their registration status Maintain a list of community housing assets

29 Registrar s enforcement powers Enforcement actions available to Registrars if providers do not comply with National Law Spirit of encouraging providers to change noncompliance, prior to any enforcement action Common, national set of operating & communication procedures for enforcement Escalating approach to non-compliance Measures to address serious & urgent noncompliance.
