Women’s Housing Ltd’s Response to State of Emergency

Women’s Housing Ltd’s aim is to protect staff and their families, contractors, tenants and volunteers from exposure to COVID-19. Our response measures aim to minimise any risk to the community and potential disruption of services through this time.

Women’s Housing Ltd will continue to provide services to our tenants and clients. During this time our office hours will be reduced from 10-3pm. People are advise to call Women’s Housing Ltd on 9412 6868 or email on info@womenshousing.com.au. Staff can be contacted on their usual email addresses and direct office lines.

Support for our tenants and clients is crucial at this time. Women’s Housing Ltd will continue to communicate with tenants and clients through text messages, telephone calls and emails and post updates on our website when required.

Due to social distancing policies adopted by Women’s Housing Ltd, Tenancy and Maintenance officers will only attend properties if it is absolutely necessary. However, officers will contact tenants on a regular basis to keep you updated and informed. All essential maintenance will be undertaken and a policy is being developed on how to deal with urgent maintenance if contractors stop attending properties.

These are extraordinary times.
Keep safe everyone!
