Fitzroy North, Australia Aboriginal Housing Victoria Full time

Work Type/s: Part Time, maximum term contract
- Location: Based in Melbourne (Fitzroy North)
- Applications close: 5 September 2025

Aboriginal Housing Victoria (AHV) is an Aboriginal[1] community organisation responsible for managing more than 1,600 rental properties for Aboriginal people living in Victoria.

Our vision is to ensure that Aboriginal Victorians secure appropriate, affordable housing as a pathway to better lives and stronger communities.

In addition to being the largest Aboriginal Registered Housing Agency in Australia, AHV is the lead agency for Victoria’s Aboriginal housing and homelessness policy, _Mana-na woorn-tyeen maar-takoort_. As the housing and homeless policy lead in the Victorian Aboriginal community, AHV has a responsibility to work in partnership with the Government to secure the resources and reforms to implement the policy, while we support sector development to empower Victoria’s Aboriginal community to determine its chosen housing future.

AHV's housing services are targeted to those most in need of support. Through the provision of secure housing by an Aboriginal rental provider, AHV helps strengthen and maintain Aboriginal communities and cultural ties.

This role will oversee The Renter Home Purchase Program (RHPP) pilot which is a new initiative developed by Aboriginal Housing Victoria (AHV) that gives eligible renters the opportunity to buy the home they currently live in supporting Aboriginal home ownership by recognising renters’ deep connections to their homes, families and communities. This program supports pathways towards Aboriginal home ownership, building long-term stability, creating intergenerational wealth, and strengthening community connection.

The RHPP Project Officer will aid the Victorian Aboriginal Community to engage in the program and help develop potential Rent to Buy schemes. The position will provide non-financial advice and guidance to the community, assess EOI’s made through the scheme and make recommendations on approval for purchase by working with the relevant internal Directors. The role will also support the development of an evaluation at the end of the Pilot to determine ongoing feasibility of the program.

We are looking for someone who will bring a client-centred focus to the role and with the following key attributes and skills:

- Awareness and appreciation of Aboriginal societies and cultures and an understanding of the issues affecting Aboriginal people in contemporary Australia and the diversity of circumstances of Aboriginal people.
- E xperience in developing a diverse range of corporate and operational policies, program procedures and manuals with a continuous improvement approach.
- High level interpersonal and communication skills, including the ability to work collaboratively within and across teams to ensure the completion of common goals.
- Demonstrated ability to clearly and concisely present information both in writing and verbally, together with the ability to communicate complex concepts to a broad audience.
- Demonstrated analytical, problem solving and negotiation skills, particularly when working with a diverse range of stakeholders.
- Some knowledge of the roles of the community housing and property sector.
- Highly organised with the ability to work on multiple tasks, manage competing priorities and work under pressure to meet deadlines.

Position based in Fitzroy North with travel required.

Please direct enquiries about the position to Rian on 0459 100 313.
