National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Housing Association (NATSIHA)

The National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Association (NATSIHA) is Australia's first and only national leadership body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Housing. Vision: All Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have housing that aligns to our diverse cultures and aspirations for the benefit of all Australians. Purpose: Provide national leadership on First Nations Housing that empowers community-controlled solutions and self-determination. As the National Peak Body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander housing, NATSIHA remains steadfast in addressing the housing needs specific to our communities. Our dedication lies in ensuring safe, secure, and culturally appropriate housing solutions for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals and families. We empower our communities to shape housing solutions that cater to emergencies and diverse housing needs across the spectrum. Collaborating with State and Territory Peaks, our aim is transformative change in housing and infrastructure, combating homelessness and housing insecurity. We advocate for equity, dismantling systemic barriers along the way. NATSIHA’s collective efforts are geared towards providing dignified housing for every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander person. We challenge existing systems to create a fairer society and stand as a new force, driving tangible improvements in housing and infrastructure within our communities.
