**The Organisation**

SEARMS is a registered National Regulatory System for Community Housing Providers (NRSCH) Aboriginal Community Housing provider (ACHP). We have served Aboriginal communities in regional NSW since 2003.

Our portfolio is complex. We own and manage our own 45 properties as well as 133 properties owned between 10 other Aboriginal organisations (including Local Area Land Councils) and 63 Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO) NSW (state-owned assets) under 16 different service agreements

The gaining of our accreditation as a Tier 3 provider under NRSCH confirmed our commitment to best practice generally. At that time, SEARMS was one of only 24 ACHP’s nationally and one of only 10 such organisations in NSW. We have also been recognised by the AHO NSW as a ‘growth provider’ - assessed as having the structure and internal capacity for additional management transfers.

In 2024, SEARMS achieved ASES accreditation (Australian Service Excellence Standard). This is another level of achievement for the organisation.

As part of its growth strategy, SEARMS has established a Canberra office to complement its Batemans Bay head office. As such, we are constantly looking for people who are passionate about serving their community. We have a number of positions currently available.
