Are you worried about losing your home?

Struggling to find somewhere to live?

Supportive Tenancy Service (STS) works with people whose tenancy is at risk (Tenancy Support) or who are facing barriers in establishing a private tenancy (Housing Options).

Tenancy Support

STS case managers will talk to you about your situation, explore options and work out a plan. They can:

  • make referrals for specialist legal or financial advice
  • link you to other services
  • advocate with property managers and other parties, and
  • support you through the steps required to sustain your tenancy.

Tenancy Support covers any type of tenancy: public housing, private rental, mortgage.

Housing Options

The STS housing options worker will work with you to explore your options and provide advice on how to secure a community housing or private rental tenancy.

Housing Options is for people who have the income and capacity to sustain a community or private rental.

Want to know more?

You can contact STS through OneLink, where an assessing officer will talk to you about your situation and what assistance you need. They can provide information and connect you to support services, including STS.
