How to apply

We’ve designed our application process to be as accessible as possible.

As part of your application, you’ll be asked to answer three questions. You can choose the format that works best for you:

  • A written submission, or
  • A video submission.

This flexible approach gives you the choice to apply in the way that suits you best. You’re not expected to submit a video – it’s simply an alternative option to make the process more accessible.

Interested?

If you’d like to help shape the future of Tai Calon and represent the views of tenants, we’d love to hear from you.
