After the decision

Applicants will be advised of the decision in writing and receive feedback on each of the five performance standards.

For successful applicants, this feedback may include some requirements that you will need to implement to maintain your registration. We may also make recommendations to improve your operations, but any recommendations are not mandatory. 

For unsuccessful applicants, this feedback will include the reasons why your application was not successful, which will assist you should you wish to submit a new application in future. 

Successful applicants will be added to the public register on CHRA’s website and notification of registration will be published in the New Zealand Gazette(external link).

We will also notify Te Tūāpapa Kura Kāinga – Ministry of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Housing Supply, Place Based, and Contracts teams that your organisation has been registered and can partner with HUD to supply community housing. For more information about supply opportunities, visit the providing public housing(external link) page on the HUD website.

An applicant may appeal to the District Court in relation to CHRA’s decisions affecting registration. For more information see our page on complaints and appeals.
