Pay The Rent Pay The Rent program is organised by First Nations and non-First Nations people working together, as the Pay The Rent Grassroots Collective. This Collective is based on the lands of the Kulin Nation in Victoria, Australia, however we are a national organisation.
We pay our respects to those who have developed and promoted the Pay The Rent concept – including Bruce McGuinness, Bejam Kunmunara Jarlow Nunukel Kabool and the National Aboriginal and Islander Health Organisation (NAIHO).
After extensive conversations and consultations, the Pay The Rent Grassroots Collective has been established under the ‘Sovereign Body, Administration Arm’ model. This model allows for a Sovereign Body of First Nations people to make decisions about how the money is allocated, while an Administration Arm of conscientious non-Aboriginal people undertakes the logistical and administrative work.
The Sovereign Body are a group of First Nations people who are working to establish Pay the Rent as an organisation which collectively ensure decisions are made transparently and are centered around the needs of First Nations people.
The Sovereign Body is currently working through how to honour the legacy of the Elders and their role in the movement; and how money allocations can be fair and transparent to First Nation communities.
The Administrative Arm manages systems to respond to the wonderful influx of people who are engaging and contributing rent. They manage the website; responding to all the inquiries from conscientious people interested in Paying the Rent; and establishing systems that can help us grow – for individuals, organisations and businesses.
