Ballarat North Neighbourhood House

Welcome to
Ballarat North Neighbourhood House

Ballarat North Neighbourhood House is an independent community-based organisation that is committed to building a socially connected, engaged and inclusive community where people feel they belong. To do this, we offer a range of education programs, workshops, social activities and community supports for Ballarat North and surrounding communities.

At Ballarat North Neighbourhood House we are passionate about ensuring all community members have an opportunity to participate in our house. We run activities from a number of locations, providing opportunities for people to learn new skills and meet new people. We strive to ensure our venues are accessible and reflect the different community groups we support. We also offer a range of volunteer roles, including student placements, that we hope will provide fantastic learning opportunities that benefit the volunteer, our organisation and the broader community.
