About this resource

In Victoria, prospective tenants need to contact an NRAS tenancy manager directly to check NRAS dwelling availability.

For your convenience, we have attached a list of contacts that manage NRAS dwellings, across Victoria, including the Melbourne city area. You can also view the list of contacts for the regional Victorian area.

Once you find an NRAS dwelling that you would like to apply for, speak directly with the responsible agency managing the dwelling. They will provide with the appropriate paperwork.

You may also want to contact the housing department(Opens in a new tab/window) in Victoria, to find other affordable housing options.

Some of the requirements to be eligible are:

  • Provide proof of your household’s gross income over the last 12 months
  • Continue to provide proof of income to your tenancy manager on an annual basis
  • Not exceed the relevant household income limits for your household composition.

NRAS homes are part of the private rental market and often approved participants or tenancy managers may choose to advertise properties through a nominated local real estate agent. To find NRAS homes available for rent in your preferred area, prospective tenants may wish to do an online search in the following websites:

Alternatively, you can search the keywords ‘NRAS properties available for rent’ in your preferred web browser.

Please note, property advertisements are managed by the relevant real estate agent and you may need to adjust the filters in your search for NRAS properties in your preferred area.
