NT Shelter welcomes today’s announcement of the appointment of Kate Worden as the new Minister for Territory Families and Urban Housing and Chansey Paech as the new Minister for Remote Housing and Town Camps.

“Housing is a key portfolio in Government and its role cannot be overstated. We commend the appointment of two Ministers in recognition of the huge workload ahead.

“It is impossible to get effective cut-through in early childhood development, education, health, employment and the justice system if people are living in overcrowded, poorly functioning houses or if they don’t have a home at all”, Mr McMillan said.
