In March 2024, the Allan Labor Government launched a dedicated task force under Consumer Affairs Victoria (CAV). This initiative aims to ensure rental providers comply with the rental minimum standards set forth in the Residential Tenancy Act.

In this episode, we’ll dive into how the task force is structured and its approach to managing the more than 620,000 rental properties across Victoria. Special guests Nicole Rich and Emma Gordon.
