Empowering communities in need to flourish

For more than 40 years, commUnity+ has played a critical role in supporting people and families to live safe, fulfilling and prosperous lives by assisting them to overcome hardship, disadvantage and marginalisation. Based across Melbourne’s Greater West and North regions, we empower and support people by unlocking pathways to connection, learning, work and justice.   

Melbourne’s Greater West and North are now some of the fastest growing areas in Victoria. Government funding for our core programs and services is crucial; however, it falls short of what is needed to respond to the diversity and complexity of unmet community need. 

Our focus areas are: 

• Education: to provide community members with the skills and training they need to achieve their goals, whether that’s learning English or developing technical skills for employability.  

• Legal: to resolve legal issues through the delivery of client-centred, holistic, collaborative, high quality and specialised legal advice and assistance 

• Neighbourhood: to facilitate community building and strengthening through programs to improve health and wellbeing, social inclusion, and community engagement. 

• Family: to support the needs of families through supervised visits, facilitated for children and their separated parents, and other family services.  

commUnity+ delivers impact-focused and evidence-based services where we measure and evaluate all outcomes.  To fully meet the diverse and complex needs of people and communities through these services, we must reach above and beyond. 

If you want to make a lasting impact, you can support our work to help all people, families and communities to thrive with a donation today. Donations above $2 are tax-deductible.
