A little more about us
Professional and culturally sensitive services
We would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the lands and pay our respect to elders both past and present.
The Aboriginal Tenancy and Advice services along with the Aboriginal Resource Unit delivers a range of proactive, professional and culturally sensitive services designed to positively impact the development of Aboriginal communities.
We provide Aboriginal people facing tenancy issues with access to support, representation, advice, information, conciliation and education. We always work in a non-discriminatory manner with all of our clients.
