I first became involved in the community when I volunteered for the Committee of Management for Morrison House in the 1990’s. Ever since I have been a strong supporter of Victoria’s  wonderful  network of community houses. Whether it is providing childcare, adult education or community development, community houses play a vital role in supporting local residents and connecting us to our communities.

These are the terrific community houses in the Monbulk electorate. Please check them out.

For information on current programs please contact the Neighbourhood House directly.
