Tenant Satisfaction Survey - CEO Update

7 October 2022

Hello 

I’d like to thank the many customers who took the time to fill in our satisfaction survey. We ask people to participate in this survey because it’s a really important way for you to tell us how we are doing. When you complete the survey, the information helps us learn and improve what we do to deliver better outcomes for people and communities.  

The survey is run independently by the Community Housing Industry Association (CHIA) NSW on our behalf. This year 1,846 people completed the survey with most people preferring to complete it on their mobile phone. We also sent paper versions, emails and offered a call back service for anyone who preferred to speak to a person to help them fill in the survey or needed a translator.  

Overall, we have seen improvement in the rates of satisfaction however customers in our Northern Sydney region are less satisfied with SGCH. The survey also found younger (under 30 years) and older (over 70 years) customers are generally more satisfied, and our male customers are also generally more satisfied. The results included:
