The Aboriginal Housing Office (AHO) Board advises the Minister for Housing and Homelessness on policies and strategic direction and has defined responsibilities.
The AHO is governed by a Board made up entirely of Aboriginal people, which provides advice to the Minister for Housing on Aboriginal housing issues in NSW.
The Regional Aboriginal Housing Committees (RAHCs) are responsible for advising the Board on Aboriginal housing issues and carrying out such Board functions as are delegated to the RAHC by the Board.
The RAHC members are approved by the Board and all members must be Aboriginal.
