The second
edition of the National Community Housing Standards Manual
has been adapted from the first edition, published in 1998
by the National Community Housing Forum (NCHF).
NSW Standards
The first edition
was based on a set of standards developed in a project initiated
by the NSW Office of Community Housing during 1997. The original
development involved:
extensive consultation with
the sector
a drafting party made up
of NSW community housing provider peaks and government representatives
wide circulation
of the draft document within the sector
revision of the draft standards
based on feedback received.
National Standards
This was followed
by a national project which involved:
circulation of the second-draft
NSW Standards to service providers, tenant organisations
and government departments across Australia
workshops in each state and
territory to gain feedback
developing a draft set of
National Standards
piloting the draft National
Standards and a review process in eleven services in New
South Wales, Victoria and Queensland
Revising the standards based
on the pilots and other feedback.
