About

Inclusive Learning and Community Engagement

At Arrabri Community House, we pride ourselves on fostering an inclusive environment where community members can engage, learn, and grow together. Offering a diverse array of programs, courses, and activities, we aim to ensure that everyone has access to quality education and recreation in a setting that champions warmth and hospitality. As a proud member of Learn Local, a network of non-profit organisations in Victoria focused on adult community education, we extend our outreach to all individuals seeking personal development, community involvement, or simply a space to connect with others.

Diverse Programs for All Ages

Our focus is on meeting the dynamic needs of our community through a variety of programs designed to promote health, wellbeing, and lifelong learning. From computer and literacy courses to creative outlets like art, craft, and cooking classes, we cater to diverse interests and skills. Further, we support professional and personal growth with employment skills training and personal development programs. Catering to our youngest community members, we provide occasional childcare and playgroups, ensuring there’s something for everyone. 

Reliable and Flexible Occasional Child Care

Recognised for excellence, our childcare team at Arrabri Community House offers Occasional Child Care in the delightful Yellow Room – a secure, nurturing environment fully equipped with quality toys and furniture designed for young explorers. Understanding the evolving needs of every family, we ensure our service remains accessible, affordable, and adaptable. The Occasional Child Care caters to children from three months to pre-school age, providing parents the flexibility to manage daily errands, attend appointments, or simply enjoy some well-deserved personal time. Our approach is to create a supportive space for children while offering peace of mind to parents, knowing their little ones are in capable and caring hands.

Facilities for Every Occasion

Arrabri Community House isn’t just about programs and education; it’s a hub for gathering. The rooms at our venue are available for both business and private hire, reflecting our commitment to community service. Local groups often convene here, finding our rooms, hall and additional amenities – such as picnic and BBQ facilities, and public toilets – ideal for meetings and events. By providing these spaces, we continue to nurture a sense of togetherness and offer a platform for shared ideas and common goals within our thriving community.
