Reports - KPM Housing Registrar Report / VRS (VIC)

The Victorian Regulatory System (also known as the VRS or KPM) reporting is key reporting requirement of Victorian Community Housing Providers, and is used by the Housing Registrar to 'monitor and assess compliance and performance of registered agencies' (Department of Treasury and Finance 2016).

The data required for reporting on several Key Performance Measures (KPMs) is captured in Chintaro, and made visible via the Reporting Analyser screen. The totals provided by this screen are then keyed in manually to the Housing Registrar Online business system, CHiMES.
