We are a leading voice in our community and the first choice in housing services for Aboriginal People for the last 40 years.

Murchinson Regional Aboriginal Corporation are a culturally sensitive organisation and understand the unique culture of Aboriginal people. Cultural responsibilities can influence all aspects of a person’s life including housing. We focus on providing stable housing and support to maintain that home so that the family can positively participate in education, training, employment and the community.

With 40 years of hands-on experience, helping First Nations people and their families find a secure tenancy, we’re a highly respected Community Housing Provider (CHP), and the only registered Aboriginal CHP in the WA regions.

Our Portfolio

Murchison Region Aboriginal Corporation (MRAC) owns and manages 115 residential properties. Our small and dedicated team maintains firm control over finances. While we rent the homes we own, on occasion, we may sell the home to a tenant who would like to own their own home or on the open market.

Before investing in property, we consider demand in the area, alternative housing options and profitability. Our asset management plan, upgrade schedule and disposal strategy are essential tools in our operating strategy.

Upgrades are planned with the tenant in mind. We strive to replace or install efficient appliances that help tenants save on ongoing utility costs.
