Thanks to new funding from Consumer Affairs Victoria’s Rental Stress Support Package, Housing for the Aged Action Group (HAAG) will restart their tenancy service, and they are asking for your support and advice to help make it the best it can be.

HAAG has always recognised older people as the real experts on their own housing needs, so as part of the service they’ll be holding monthly meetings to get feedback from older renters about the new service.

Meetings will take place both in person and online, starting in June.

You don’t need any special experience or knowledge to participate; HAAG just wants to hear what you have to say.

If you’re currently living in private rental or a rooming house, HAAG would love to hear from you – and will pay for your time. For more information or to express interest please email haag@oldertenants.org.au or call on (03) 9654 7389.
