Why I like working at TASC

Working as a Tenant Advocate for TASC.

My name is Samantha and I have been working for TASC as a Tenant Advocate for 12 months. Prior to working here I worked for the Residential Tenancies Authority for 7 years providing information to Real Estates, Lessors and Tenants on their rights and obligations while renting in Queensland under the Residential Tenancies Act 1994.

I moved to Toowoomba at the beginning of 2008 and contacted TASC not long after. When I contacted them I let them know my experience in tenancy law and was employed not long after that as a casual employee. I am now the full time tenancy worker and have never looked back. I have been very fortunate to meet some great people in my co-workers. Some of the most wonderful things about working with TASC are the working conditions, the people I work with, the flexibility and the encouragement we are given to be innovative.

I love the job that I do here as I get to see the impact and outcomes that TASC has on helping people fight for their rights and change their life for the better.
