ABOUT

COVID-19 service update: Tenant Advocates are working remotely to keep our advice service operating.

Murra Mia Tenant Advocacy Service (Southern NSW Aboriginal TAAS) advises clients of their rights and obligations. Murra Mia also advocates and mediates with and on behalf of clients at the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT). Murra Mia provides community education, interlinking and liaising with agencies and clients, usually on an ongoing basis. Our services are available to Aboriginal renters right across our region in Southern NSW, which includes the Illawarra, South coast, Southern Highlands, Hume Murray, and Riverina.

This is a specialist Aboriginal Service. Non-Aboriginal tenants please contact your local tenants' service.
