NHFIC is part of the Treasury portfolio of agencies and reports to the Assistant Treasurer and Minister for Housing (the responsible Minister).

We are governed by an independent, skills-based Board that reports to Parliament through our responsible Minister. The Board is responsible for NHFIC’s investment strategy and its overall operations, and is governed by directions provided by the responsible Minister under the National Housing Finance and Investment Corporation Investment Mandate Direction 2018.
