Compliance for local government community housing providers

State-based community housing providers must comply with performance requirements under the Queensland State Regulatory System for Community Housing (QSRSCH) as a condition of their registration.

You must demonstrate compliance through periodic compliance returns—undertaking standard compliance assessments at least every 2 years.

This involves completing a standard compliance return in our online regulatory system CHRIS, with a comprehensive assessment that focuses on all performance requirements involving the highest risk in the sector and for each registered community housing provider.

Where required, we will conduct an on-site compliance visit.

We may conduct a compliance assessment if we identify:

• serious operational or financial risk
• failure to comply with legislative or government policy and guidelines
• serious non-compliance
• a pattern of non-compliance
• serious complaints
• potential harm to tenants (identified or reported).

A regulatory analyst will give you information about compliance scheduling.

They will also guide you in completing your compliance return using the available tools, resources and the CHRIS system.
