The Communify Story
In 1978, a group of passionate people in Brisbane came together united by a vision of an active, supportive community where people cared for each other especially those who needed a hand.
That passion for localism and fire for helping needy Brisbane people lives on in Communify today. We are a hub of active compassion. We support and we provide a helping hand. Localism and community are in our DNA. We’re here to offer support and opportunities for change.
Our neighbourhood centres provide opportunities for people to join activities, make connections and find support for the challenges that life can bring.
Why choose Communify?
Based in Brisbane’s inner west, Communify Qld is an independent community organisation.
We act as a unifying hub, providing services and activities that support people’s quality of life. We work with local people to promote a socially just and diverse community, and to build community capacity.
