There are two types of housing applications

When applying for social housing, you will need to complete one of the following applications:

1. Register of Interest
   For people to register their interest in being considered for social housing. All Victorians who meet the eligibility criteria for Social Housing are able to add their name to the Register.
   
   
2. Priority Access
   For those most in need. The 6 groups include:

   a. Emergency Management Housing – for people whose housing is no longer safe or habitable due to an emergency such as a bushfire or flood
   
   b. Priority Transfers – for people experiencing safety issues such as family violence
   
   c. Homeless with Support – for people experiencing homelessness or family violence
   
   d. Supported Housing – where disability modifications are required
   
   e. Special Housing Needs – for people living in inappropriate, insecure or unsafe housing
   
   f. Special Housing Needs 55 years and over – for people living in inappropriate, insecure or unsafe housing aged 55 years and over

If you are not sure which of the above to apply for, please contact our team for support.
