Neighbourhood and Community House and Centre Week celebrates the incredible work happening in local communities across Australia. Every week, more than 400,000 people walk through the doors of an NCHC to access support, connection, and opportunity.
​
This year the theme is 'Your Place to Connect', highlighting how over 1,000 NCHCs across the country provide welcoming spaces where everyone can come together, share experiences, learn, and support one another. From volunteering and community projects to casual conversations and learning new skills, these placed-based community hubs are the cornerstone of community development in Australia.​
Join us in celebrating NCHC Week by visiting your local House or Centre, attending events, sharing your story, or helping others get involved. ​
​
Neighbourhood Community Houses and Centres are 'your place to connect'.
As part of Neighbourhood Centre Week, we are attempting Australia's record for the 'Largest Community Led Lunch'.
​
Throughout the week, Neighbourhood Houses and Community Centres across Australia will host local lunches that bring people together to connect and celebrate community. Each participating NCHC will register the number of lunches they hold, contributing to a national total.
​
Together, we will showcase the scale and impact of community led connection across Australia and celebrate the vital role Neighbourhood Houses play in strengthening local communities.
​
The campaign will include:
​​
-
National media coverage: ANHCA is engaging a PR firm to maximise visibility and reach across media channels.
-
Engagement with sponsors, government, and philanthropic partners to amplify support and impact.
-
Data collection for impact: Participating houses can submit their meal counts, helping us demonstrate the reach of the initiative.
