Aboriginal Housing The Aboriginal housing sector is undergoing significant, complex and contested reforms. With direction from the Aboriginal Tenants Advice Network and in collaboration with Shelter NSW and NCOSS, the TU commissioned a review of the current reforms and future directions. The report was released February 2011 and it received coverage in sector newsletters. We met with Aboriginal housing organisations to discuss the outcomes and published an update to the research. We also participated in the National Indigenous Housing Roundtable.The resulting document is being used by the Aboriginal services to respond to the reforms and as an education tool for non-Aboriginal services.
