North West Community Hub is Communify’s longest-running neighbourhood centre. It opened in 1993, when Communify was known as the Red Hill/Paddington Community Centre. Thirty years later, the Hub has become a thriving centre, offering emergency relief, social support, and community groups and events.
If you’re driving here, there is ample parking along Jubilee Tce and surrounding streets. We’re just a short walk from the Bardon Central Shopping Centre, around the corner (60 MacGregor Tce, 260 m).

We are committed to supporting reconciliation between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australian people. In keeping with the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands where Communify works, the Turrbal and Jagera peoples. We wish to pay respect to the Elders – past and present – and acknowledge the important role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples continue to play within our community.
