Aboriginal Housing Victoria (AHV) is an Aboriginal community organisation responsible for managing more than 1,600 rental properties for Aboriginal people living in Victoria.
Our vision is to ensure that Aboriginal Victorians secure appropriate, affordable housing as a pathway to better lives and stronger communities.
AHV is a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee and regulated by the Australian Charities and Not-for-profit Commission and the Australian Securities and Investment Commission. AHV is a registered housing association under the Housing Act 1983 (Vic) and was the first Aboriginal housing agency to be registered as a housing provider and housing association in Victoria. AHV is the largest Aboriginal social housing agency in Australia.
AHV is also the lead agency for Victoria’s Aboriginal housing and homelessness policy, Mana-na woorn-tyeen maar-takoort takoort (Every Aboriginal Person Has a Home). AHV works in partnership with Government to secure the resources and reforms to implement the policy, while we support sector development to empower Victoria’s Aboriginal community to determine its chosen housing future.
AHV's housing services are targeted to those most in need of support. Through the provision of secure housing by an Aboriginal rental provider, AHV helps strengthen and maintain Aboriginal communities and cultural ties.
AHV maintains a mix of Directors on the Board from different backgrounds, with complementary skills and experience in the areas of business, governance, asset management, law, finance and accounting, communications, and social housing and Aboriginal community controlled sectors.
AHV is undertaking an open expression of interest (EOI) process to attract suitably qualified candidates for future directorships on the AHV Board.
For the 2025 EOI round, AHV is seeking EOIs from candidates with financial expertise.
We are looking to add to our established register of candidates who have been assessed as demonstrating the potential skills and attributes required for nomination to Director vacancies as they become available.
The AHV Board Director Position Description is available on the AHV website at: https://ahvic.org.au/about/ahv-careers
An EOI information pack is available that provides details on the EOI process, and the skills and attributes for selection of candidates. An EOI form is also included.
A copy of the EOI pack is available by contacting Senior Policy Officers Deb and Georgie at AHV via email: deb.connell@ahvic.org.au or georgie.larkins@ahvic.org.au.
Interested potential candidates are requested to complete and return the EOI form by COB Thursday 17 April 2025.
