About Us

The Housing Appeals Committee (HAC) provides an independent appeals mechanism for social housing clients in NSW. The HAC Secretariat is a business unit of Homes NSW and provides administrative and customer support services to enable the delivery of timely and responsive independent appeal services.

Your role

The Administrative Assistant supports a client-focused team delivering appeals services to social housing residents, collaborating with clients, staff, and providers to ensure a culturally responsive service.

With a high level of attention to details and strong administrative and customer service skills, you’re confident using computer-based technology and managing tasks like records maintenance, meeting coordination, minute taking and financial processes.

• Provide administrative services including filing, mail receipt and sorting, maintenance of registers, routine purchasing, meeting and event support, photocopying, and creating and compiling documents to support the effective operation of the team/unit
• Collect and compile information to support the development of documentation and reports
• Respond to enquiries and routine requests for information, escalating enquiries as necessary, to ensure the provision of accurate information
• Update records and databases, complying with records management processes, to ensure information is accurate, stored correctly and accessible

What we’re looking for

• You’re known for providing excellent customer service, your strong communication skills (both written and verbal), and you understand the importance of discretion and confidentiality
• You thrive under pressure and meet tight timeframes. You’re flexible and organised, with great attention to detail and accuracy
• You’re a highly motivated team player, working collaboratively and independently as required, but always with a ‘can-do’ attitude.
• Experience in a similar role managing multiple priorities throughout your day

We focus on hiring people who share our commitment and goals of inclusion, collaboration, adaptability, courage and integrity. If you meet the essential requirements and the role resonates with you, please apply – you do not need to meet every desired requirement for us to want to talk to you.

• Flexible, autonomous work environment
• Competitive pay and conditions
• Training and development opportunities to build and maintain capabilities
