About Us

Tenants Victoria is a not for profit specialist community legal centre, a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity regulated by the Australian Charities and Not For Profit Commission. It is generally regarded by the community sector and government as the centre of expertise in tenancy law and practice.

We support tenants in public and private housing by providing legal advice, information and representation to individuals; by advocating and campaigning for reform in the law and practice of tenancies and by supporting other community agencies to build capability through training. Most recently we led the successful Make Renting Fair campaign, significantly contributing to the substantial reform of tenancy law in Victoria. Read more about our work at www.tenantsvic.org.au.

Forming a skilled and committed Board, Directors are working with and supporting the CEO and staff to continue to expand and develop Tenants Victoria and its contribution to social justice and housing reform.
