AHL’s 2023–24 Annual Report describes our performance for the 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024 financial year.
In 2023–24, AHL operated a national network of hostels, providing culturally safe and affordable accommodation for First Nations people who need to be away from home to access services and economic opportunities.
During the year, AHL provided First Nations people with more than 433,000 bed nights across our 42 hostels. This represented an increase of 8 per cent in occupied bed nights compared to the previous year.
We achieved an 80 per cent occupancy rate during the year, well above our target, indicating continuing strong demand for our services.
While AHL’s purpose is to provide affordable and culturally safe accommodation for First Nations people, it is also an economic generator for First Nations people. It provides direct jobs and career pathways and supports the education aspirations of residents.
AHL also seeks to supports First Nations businesses wherever we can and this year, we sourced goods and services worth $2.9 million from a range of First Nations businesses.
Our 2023–24 Annual Report includes stories about the ways our employees have supported residents over the year. The hard work of our dedicated employees, the service improvements and the hostel amenity improvements all contributed to a successful and productive year.
