ABOUT

Murra Mia Western Aboriginal Tenants Advice and Advocacy Service provides advocacy and advice to tenants who are faced with difficulties in the relationship with landlords and social housing providers. We can negotiate on behalf of tenants to enhance an outcome that is beneficial to all parties. WATAAS also assists tenants when attendance at the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) is required.

Our services are available to Aboriginal renters in Western NSW.

Call us on 6881 5700 or 1800 810 233 or email mmw@murramia.com

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