addition to hosting information about the scheme on the Community Services Directorate site, we have:

a. promoted the scheme (through paid advertising) on Allhomes;

b. held a number of information sessions for community stakeholders in the specialist homelessness sector to promote the scheme (and the safer families assistance program); and

c. promoted rental bond help through social media channels.

The ACT Government is also working with the real estate sector (through REIACT) to promote and educate agents about the new-look scheme; and, promotional activity will shortly commence in ‘Our Canberra’.
