Support programs are designed to assist tenants sustain their tenancies when they face possible eviction and the prospect of homelessness, or experience significant difficulties managing their tenancy because of a mental and/or physical health condition. The immediate reasons for referral to tenancy support programs include the accrual of rent arrears and non-rent liabilities, property standard or maintenance problems, anti-social behaviour notifications and difficulties in managing tenancies resulting from a disability or from a mental and/or physical health condition. Such programs provide support services to address these factors as well as the underlying causal forces that may lead a tenancy to move to an at-risk position. This study examines the role of tenancy support programs in assisting Indigenous households maintain their tenancies. The study describes both mainstream and Indigenous-specific tenant support programs around Australia, outlines how they operate, provides details on the representation of Indigenous people in these programs, describes the services that clients receive and assesses their outcomes. This Positioning Paper provides the reader with a brief review of the relevant literature and describes the research design of the study and policy context which informs the study. The final report, due in late 2008, will present the findings of the research and outline the policy implications which flow from those findings. (Introduction, edited.)

domestic development within marginalized communities. In
Australia, sport is assumed to have a ‘natural fit’ with Aboriginal
communities – accordingly it is utilized in a variety of ways. In
seeking to challenge and examine this situation and the dominant
/ unquestioned / invisible assumptions inherent, we propose the
notion of cultural offsetting – whereby sport is positioned as a
way of offsetting a variety of losses that Australian Aboriginal
communities and peoples have experienced and continue to
experience. Within the context of sport, this article examines
whether cultural offsetting using sport is feasible and/or desirable.
While the conclusion reached is that Aboriginal peoples have
been using sport as a cultural offset for some time, serious
questions remain regarding the capacity of sport-for-development
programmes to offset the variety of losses (e.g. culture, language,
identity) experienced by Aboriginal Australians.
