The Communify Story
Back in 1978 a group of passionate community members had a vision of a unified, supportive community. For over 40 years, Communify has grown in response to the diverse range of needs and interests of our community.
From our neighbourhood centres we offer support to people experiencing challenges related to ageing, disability, mental health, child safety, parenting, financial hardship, food security, addiction, and homelessness.
We also provide childcare, housing, support for people seeking asylum, community engagement and participation, and access to community spaces.
