About the Program

The Tenancy Assistance Program (TAP) supports people who are at risk of housing instability due to financial hardship, mental health challenges, domestic violence, or other complex circumstances.

We provide practical, personalised support to help stabilise tenancies and prevent homelessness through early intervention.

TAP is funded under the Community Services Directorate. We partner with Care Consumer Law, Care Financial Counselling, Care Financial Capability and Vinnies Home Energy Tune-Up.

If your organisation is interested in partnering with us to support the Tenancy Assistance Program, please reach out to us at TAPNetworking@wcs.org.au.
