With a portfolio of some 2,300 dwellings, SCH manages assets worth over $1 billion, and has net assets in excess of $100 million.

From humble beginnings in 1983, SCH has grown to become a leading provider of Social and Affordable Housing in Regional NSW, with a proud reputation for service excellence and innovation, which has provided opportunities for growth.

We intend to continue this trend of growth to meet the needs of the communities we service.

Additionally, all candidates must have a genuine interest in, and a broad understanding of, the Social and Affordable Housing Sector, strong business acumen supported by demonstrable strategic ability, a sound understanding of good governance and well-developed communication skills.
