Your responsibilities while on the housing wait list

It is your responsibility to keep your application up to date at all times. Please contact Territory Housing if there

are any changes to:

Your residential or postal address

The number of people in your household

Your household income, assets or property ownership status

Your phone number

Before signing any new tenancy agreements, you will need to inform your landlord that you are on the public

housing wait list. This may enable you to leave that tenancy early if you receive an offer of housing.

Documents required at pre-tenancy interview

You will be asked to attend an interview to confirm that your household is still eligible for public housing. At your

interview you must provide current documents showing your household income and assets (Part B) as well as:

Tenancy reference/s

Proof of Northern Territory residency (such as Driver Licence, bill or bank statement showing your address)

Housing application

All applications are subject to approval before being registered on the wait list.

• All questions must be fully answered. Failure to do so may cause a delay in your application being

registered. Any deliberate false or misleading statement may result in the application being rejected or

removed from the wait list.

• It is an offence to make a false or misleading statement on a housing application form. The maximum

penalty for a breach of the Housing Act is 100 penalty units.

• Applications are dealt with strictly in order of date of application except for priority housing approvals. These

are granted in accordance with Territory Housing’s Priority Housing Policy (Territory Housing reserves the

right to make special allocation at any time if it considers sufficient cause has been shown by the applicant).

• Territory Housing may, as a matter of policy, determine from time to time the type of accommodation to be

offered to an applicant depending on the size of family or any other factors it considers relevant.

• Applications may not be approved if an applicant has previously been evicted from public housing under

specified circumstances. Individual cases may be assessed on merit.

• Applications may be rejected or removed from the wait list where a person nominated on the application

form owes a debt to Territory Housing and defaults on an Agreement to Pay.

• Applicants and their dependants must be permanent residents of Australia and have lived in the Northern

Territory from the date of application until the date they are allocated a dwelling.

• Please be aware that if you change your address without notifying Territory Housing this may cause delays

in you receiving your allocation or your application may be cancelled.

• Applicants will be subject to an income test, assets test and must meet property ownership criteria at the

time of application and again before an offer of public housing is made.

• Please make sure you have supplied all the information as listed in Section 16. Failure to supply the

information may result in your application being delayed or cancelled.
