(2) Transfer Waiting List

12 May 1997: 1,070 applications

Although ACT Housing's ISIP computer system can provide information about household type for the totality of people on the waiting list for public housing it does not do so for the two sub-categories of that waiting list: those waiting to be allocated public housing and those public housing tenants waiting to be transferred to alternative government accommodation.

(3) ACT Housing's ISIP computer system provides information on gender only in respect to people on the current waiting list for public housing. It does not provide such information about people whose names appeared on former (historical) waiting lists for public housing.
