Campaign Kit Overview

Welcome to the 2026 Neighbourhood Houses Budget and Election Campaign! YOU and your communities are crucial to the success of this campaign.

Campaign Theme and Key Messages

“Keep our doors open – strong communities start here!”

Neighbourhood Houses have faced rising costs, increasing community need and an erosion of core funding. Around half of all Neighbourhood Houses in Victoria are running at a loss. This cannot continue.

Our core asks are as follows:

Increase funding for Neighbourhood Houses by 25%
Support 25 Neighbourhood Houses who do not currently receive any ongoing funding.
Develop a fund for the establishment of 5 additional Neighbourhood Houses in Victoria’s growth areas annually.

Please see the Info Sheets and Guides for more details.
