Community Support
Services and Links That You Might Find Useful
These community support pages are where we put things that we believe could be useful to you. They include services that are often free to use.
Some are offered through Mernda Community House, but we also include links to services and programs offered by our partners. We hope you can find something relevant to you here.
We’re always open to ideas about new ways the needs of the community could be met. If you have a question or suggestion, please contact us. We would love to hear from you!

Mernda Community House is a program of Whittlesea Community Connections (WCC). This means we can refer or link you to any of WCC’s many services, such as training programs, volunteering, and social/support groups.
We have an entire page for WCC information, which you can find here.
