The AHO is governed by a Board made up entirely of Aboriginal people, which provides advice to the Minister for Housing on Aboriginal housing issues in NSW.
The Regional Aboriginal Housing Committees (RAHCs) are responsible for advising the Board on Aboriginal housing issues and carrying out such Board functions as are delegated to the RAHC by the Board.
The RAHC members are approved by the Board and all members must be Aboriginal.
The RAHCs support the Board’s goal by enabling planning to draw on local knowledge, monitoring program delivery, providing an effective means for reporting to local communities, linking with other relevant agencies and identifying differing needs between and within regions.
Each region of the AHO is represented by a RAHC. These regions include Northern, Sydney South East and Western.
