Report a Repair

This refers to any emergency work which affects the health and safety of the tenant or public in general and needs to be completed urgently.

For example: disasters, electrical faults resulting in injury, shocks or fires, vehicle damage caused to buildings where a dangerous situation exists, security where main door locks are inoperable or where Housing SA receives a request from any of the emergency services.

• Housing SA Maintenance on 131 288

• Priority 1: Work shall commence within 4 hours of reporting the repair
• Priority 2: Work shall commence within 24 business hours of reporting the repair
• Priority 3: Work shall commence within 10 working days of reporting the repair

Please note:
