Department of Communities public housing policies and processes  

The Department of Communities has a number of policies that outline how public housing tenancy matters are dealt with, including disruptive behaviour. These can be viewed on the Department of Communities Website.

The Department is committed to taking a firm approach towards tenancies where there is serious or ongoing disruptive behaviour. Action is applied through both the Disruptive Behaviour Management Strategy and the Residential Tenancies Act 1987 (RTA), where a three-strike approach is utilised prior to seeking an eviction via a Magistrate. When seeking to evict a tenant, the Department must produce evidence which corroborates the incidents of disruptive behaviour, and the Magistrate must be satisfied that the behaviour justifies terminating the agreement.

Given that public housing provides vital support to the most vulnerable people in our communities, including the elderly, those with mental and/or physical disability, victims of family and domestic violence, and single parents, it is vital that public housing tenants are treated fairly and sensitively. Therefore, every effort is made to support public housing tenants to succeed, with eviction being used as a last resort.

How to report disruptive behaviour at a Department of Communities property

Call the Disruptive Behaviour Reporting Line on 1300 597 076 (Mon-Fri, 8am to 5pm except public holidays) to report disruptive behaviour at Department of Communities property. Remember, if there’s a threat to a person or property, call 000 immediately first.

• St John of God Murdoch Hospital located at 100 Murdoch Drive Murdoch.
• Please note that the emergency department at Fremantle Hospital closed in February 2015.

The Home Security Rebate Scheme supports residents in taking a proactive role in deterring home burglaries within the Town by offering a rebate to subsidise the cost of installing home security devices such as intruder alarms, CCTV cameras, and security screens for windows and doors, sensor lights, keyed window locks and door deadlocks.

Rebates of up to $200 per application (or $250 for Pension or Health Care Card Holders) will be provided for new installations of the above devices when purchased and fitted by a licensed security agent (or electrician for sensor lights). Rebates may also be available for work completed up to six months prior to application.

Complete the Home Security Rebate Scheme Application Form and email to admin@mosmanpark.wa.gov.au. If you require further assistance or have general questions about community safety call 9383 6600.
