Indigenous Community Housing Data Collection (ICH Data Collection)
The ICH data collection captures information about ICH organisations (ICHOs), the dwellings they manage, and tenants assisted across Australia. ICHOs include community organisations such as resource agencies and land councils, which may have a range of functions, however, are included in ICH provided that they manage housing for Indigenous people. Since 2003–04, ICH data has been compiled from state and territory housing departments on an annual basis. These data help to describe the performance of Indigenous housing programs. Data collection has evolved over time, including changes to the collection scope, procedures, data items, and underlying definitions and concepts.
