Housing Connect may be able to help if you are having trouble paying your rent, bond or moving costs. Private rental financial assistance is only available to people who can show that they need it.
You will need to provide information to Housing Connect so they can assess you.
They will ask you to provide information that shows that you:
- live in Tasmania, not another state or territory
- are an Australian citizen or permanent resident
- are 16 years or older
- are a low income earner who is eligible to keep a Commonwealth Health Care Card
- do not have assets that could be used to meet your housing needs.
If you are a member of a household, all household income will be considered when Housing Connect assess you for financial assistance.
Housing Connect can give financial assistance once every 12 months.
