Networks

Neighbourhood houses in Victoria are grouped into 16 regional networks.

The purpose of a network is to:

  • facilitate regional collaboration on issues, needs and projects
  • provide individual support and resourcing to houses
  • represent and advocate on regional issues and needs to Neighbourhood Houses Victoria, and local and state governments

Each network employs a Network Manager who carries out these functions.

Networks range in size from 229.5 km² in Melbourne's inner north to 40,049 km² in the Mallee. The number of neighbourhood houses in each network also varies greatly from seven in the Southwest (an area of over 23,000 km²) to 72 in the greater southern metropolitan region.
