Aboriginal Housing Victoria (AHV) is an Aboriginal community organisation responsible for managing more than 1,800 rental properties for Aboriginal people living in Victoria.
AHV's mission is to ensure that Aboriginal Victorians secure appropriate, affordable housing as a pathway to better lives and stronger communities.
AHV is the largest non-government Aboriginal housing organisation in Australia and the lead agency for Victoria's Aboriginal housing and homelessness policy, Mana-na woorn-tyeen maar-takoort (Every Aboriginal Person has a Home). As the housing and homeless policy lead in the Victorian Aboriginal community, AHV works in partnership with the government to secure resources and reforms to implement the policy, while supporting sector development to empower the community.
The Property Compliance Officer (PCO) is primarily responsible for the inspection of AHV properties and assessment of their condition to assist AHV in understanding the condition of its housing stock and to contribute to the development of capital works programs and effective management of assets.
The PCO activities will contribute to ensuring AHV achieves its strategic directions as set out in the business plan by assisting the organisation to understand the quality and condition of the stock it maintains and manage its assets in accordance with AHV's strategic objectives. This supports AHV's contribution to the self‐determination and self‐management of the Victorian Aboriginal Community.
