Tony Nicholson, executive director of Brotherhood of St Laurence, has been appointed to chair the Prime Minister’s Council on Homelessness.
The Council will provide independent strategic advice critical to the early years of implementing the Government’s White Paper on Homelessness, The Road Home, and monitor its progress as we work towards the goal of halving homelessness by 2020.
Mr Nicolson will provide continuity from his role as chair of the White Paper Steering Group. The Council members bring diverse experience and a broad depth of expertise across housing and homelessness issues throughout Australia.
