Supporting better conditions for rooming house residents

10 April 2022

As Darebin’s community health provider, we deliver services and supports to people living in rooming houses across the North-East Melbourne area.

Living conditions in these properties are often poor, and long-term tenancy hard to secure. We see the impact that this has on residents’ health and wellbeing and sent a submission to The Commissioner for Residential Tenancies advocating for changes that improve rooming house living conditions and promote tenants’ safety and rights through improved standards and regulations.
