About Us

“So much under one roof - something for all!”

We are a community resource that strives to provide a place where people in the area find new friendships, new interests and new links within their community. Burwood Neighbourhood Community House is run by a committee of volunteers.

Volunteers are required in areas of admin, gardening, computer tutoring, support catering, or social groups. If you would like to volunteer our details can be found on the Volunteers page. 

Burwood Neighbourhood House is a vital resource that connects and strengthens the community.

Our objective is to improve community strength and provide interesting and supportive activities.

We are very greatful to the City of Whitehorse who provides our venue and some of our funding. We also thank the Department of Human Services and all those who donate to us to keep our community house running.
