QAMH supports the renting reform commitment by the Department of Housing and Public Works. Suitable housing is an important factor in preventing mental ill-health and often a first step in promoting long-term recovery for people with mental illness.
The Reform deals with five main areas:
1. Renting with pets
2. Minor modifications to rental property
3. Domestic and Family Violence
4. Ending tenancies fairly
5. Minimum housing standards.
You can participate in the discussion by taking part in the short surveys on the Reform here: https://www.yoursayhpw.engagementhq.com/give-feedback-renting-in-qld
Alternatively, written submissions are due by 28 December 2019.
QAMH acknowledges and pays deep respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters across Australia. We honour their Elders past and present, whose knowledge, leadership, and cultural practices have sustained these lands for millennia.
