Welcome!

Supporting the Southern Region, our Community House Network fosters and strengthens the Neighbourhood House movement.  We provide resources, such as peer support, advocacy and training to seventy three Neighbourhood Houses and Learning Centres situated in ten Local Government areas in Victoria. We're your go-to for governance, management, operation and program delivery of individual Houses at a local level as well as advocating on behalf of our members at the local and state level.

The Community House Network Southern Region have kicked off the new Training calendar with Finance Training being delivered in the evenings Facilitated by Jenny Holiday from Nonprofit Training which is  subsided by the Network.

As you can see above CHN Southern ran our first Forum of the year in person. Michelle Dunscombe from the Jeder Institute delivered ABCD beyond the Basics. Thanks to all who contributed to this amazing event with particular thanks to Cranbourne Community Hub for providing the amazing venue and support and to Michelle for her inspiration. It was amazing to see so many of you face to face once again!

The Network Managers are available from Monday to Friday. Reach out to Cath or Wendy via the details on our contact page. We look forward to working with you and bringing our next events to you soon.
