Overview of the NSW HMMS State Council

Representing 106 HMMS throughout NSW, State Council consists of delegated persons from each of the 14 regions throughout New South Wales. Members represent their respective regions on the NSW HMMS State Council and are employed in the HMMS industry as Builders, Managers or Co-ordinators. They work collaboratively with both the Executive Officer and State Council as a group and address "big picture" issues as well as any major matters identified by HMMS in their respective regions. Home Modification and Maintenance Services pay State Council an annual membership fee which is based on a percentage of HMMS recurrent funding for modification and maintenance.
