Services & Fees

A consulting-first approach that helps providers secure suitable rental properties faster.

What we do


Support Housing Network helps providers secure rental approvals by improving readiness and strengthening how they are presented to agents and landlords.

We focus on preparation, clarity, and introductions — not property listings.

Our role is to help you apply clearly, move faster, and repeat what works.

Our core service

Housing readiness & agent introduction consulting

A structured consulting service designed to help you secure suitable rental properties faster by improving readiness and credibility.

This typically includes:

  • Housing needs workshop

    Lock in criteria such as layout, bedrooms, suburbs, lease window, and staffing model fit

  • Provider “tenant narrative” and application pack support

    Documentation that answers common agent and landlord questions upfront

  • Agency mapping

    Shortlisting the right offices and PM teams by suburb and stock type

  • Warm introductions

    Connecting you with agents and landlords open to provider tenancies

  • Coaching

    Inspection preparation, fast submissions, and addressing concerns professionally

  • Post-outcome debrief

    Capture lessons and refine the pack and process for the next property

Ways to work with us

  • Best when you have a specific property requirement and want to move quickly on the next suitable home.

  • Best when you’re opening multiple homes or need a steady flow of approvals across a defined region.

  • Best for organisations that want a predictable pipeline across multiple regions, with consistent support and relationship management.

  • Market pulse updates and suburb movement

    Agency mapping and warm introductions aligned to your criteria

    Ongoing agency relationship management (where relevant)

    Priority support when urgent or unplanned needs arise

  • Where relevant, we can also support you with:

    Agency education workshops (helping PM teams feel confident assessing provider tenancies)

    Onboarding systems support (templates, checklists, and SOP alignment for a repeatable internal process)

Choose the pathway that matches your urgency and scale. All SHN services are consulting, readiness and introductions only (we don’t act as a leasing agent or property manager).

These are explained in the provider webinar and confirmed in writing.

What we deliver

Depending on your engagement, you can expect:

  • a clear property criteria profile per program type

  • a professional, repeatable provider application pack

  • clear contacts, escalation process, and maintenance approach

  • a targeted agency shortlist aligned to your regions

  • warm introductions with clear next steps

  • a simple weekly housing cadence for inspections, submissions, and follow-up

Who we help

Clear boundaries.

To keep the model clear and compliant:

  • SHN is a consulting and referral partner

  • SHN is not a real estate agency or property manager

  • SHN does not submit applications, negotiate lease terms, collect rent or bond, or sign leases

  • all leases remain strictly between the Provider and the licensed real estate agent or landlord

Our fees

To align fees with outcomes, we only charge when both occur:

  • the Provider receives written approval from the landlord and agent, and

  • the lease documentation is received and executed by the Provider

Fee details are confirmed in your proposal and service agreement based upon the nature of how you engage SHN.
