Housing

Members’ Community Housing

Wathaurong Aboriginal Co-operative takes pride in our tenancy services. Access to adequate housing is a universal right. But we like to think that what we do is more than housing - it’s about our mob, our community, and providing a house that people can call “home”.

Wathaurong has 22 properties under management that may be provided to members of the Co-op. To be eligible for Community Housing, you must have been a member of the Co-operative for at least one year. As our housing is limited, there is a waiting list.

If members would like to have a yarn to someone about their personal circumstances and join the wait list for housing, please contact Housing Manager Jack Clark on 0472 609 535 or email housing@wathaurong.org.au.

Emergency Housing
Wathaurong does not have emergency housing services, although there may be other things we can do to assist you with your situation. Contact us Monday to Friday 9am-5pm on (03) 5277 0044.

If you are in immediate need of emergency housing, if you are homeless, at risk of homelessness or escaping family violence and need accommodation, call the statewide 24-hour toll free number 1800 825 955 to speak with a housing and support worker.
