Role Title: Project Intern Housing Direct Mirrabooka
Organisation: Department of Communities
Internship Period: Semester 1 (February - May)
Location: Mirrabooka
Housing Direct is the contact centre for the Department of Communities managing calls from Public Housing tenants and the general public.
The Department is reviewing the way water usage in Public Housing properties is monitored and managed, and consideration for the function of that monitoring to be consolidated to a central point. To assess the potential benefits of doing so a “pilot” project will be undertaken.
The role of the intern would be to work with Housing Direct management and other areas of Communities to understand how this work could fit into the Housing Direct structure, and then design what this “service” will look like. Significant guidance and support will be provided to the intern by the Manager of Housing Direct.
The Department collaborates to create pathways that enable individual, family and community wellbeing. What we do has far-reaching impacts across all aspects of society. Supporting wellbeing can mean many things including ensuring children are safe, helping people access a home, or creating diverse and inclusive communities.
