commUnity+ is back up-and-running after a short break over the holiday season.

The years 2020-21 will be remembered for the greatest challenge our world has faced in a lifetime. No nation, community or individual has been spared from the impacts of the global COVID-19 pandemic. The impact on people already experiencing hardship or disadvantage was exacerbated, including the communities in the West and other regions across Melbourne that commUnity+ serves and supports.

Check out our new Neighbourhood House Term 4 timetable.

The commUnity+ Brimbank Melton Community Legal Centre was featured in the Brimbank and North West Star Weekly this week, where our Tenancy and Generalist Lead Lawyer was interviewed on rental stress in our community.

Due to the Victorian Government’s 5-day lockdown, our offices will be closed until further notice. Our programs have set in place certain operational functions that will allow us to work remotely and still continue our services.

As you all may know, the Victorian Government has announced a 7-Day Lockdown beginning from tonight 11:59pm. For our organisation, this means that we will be closed until further notice. Our programs have set in place certain operational functions that will allow us to work remotely and still continue some of our services.

commUnity+ and the Brimbank Melton Community Legal Centre is excited to announce that we are to receive an injection of funds to deliver targeted family violence legal supports in the Melton area. The announcement comes after the former Attorney General, the Honourble Jill Hennessy, announced in mid-2020 that additional funds would be released to community legal centres to empower them to continue to provide much-needed legal services and advice in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic

All the sessions are FREE and bookings are essential! Please see the images below for more information and you can register now by calling 0409 834 688 or emailing neighbourhood@comm-unityplus.org.au
