About Queenscliffe Neighbourhood House:
Our history
A small group of enthusiastic local residents grew QNH from a playgroup in 1985. Over the years we have been located in a variety of buildings around the town. Since 2010 we have called 3 Tobin Drive home in a stunning position facing the bay. QNH provides space for exhibitions, art, language and music programs, hosts community groups and provides school holiday programs. Pop in anytime to visit the heart of the community.

How are we funded?
The Queenscliffe Neighbourhood House receives funding from a range of sources. The State Government Department of Health and Human Services contribute towards the Co-ordinators' salaries and some on- costs.
The Borough of Queenscliffe provides the venue and its maintenance. A range of grants are applied for throughout the year. The Committee of Management is involved in fundraising activities for specific projects and to ensure the financial viability of the organisation.

QNH prepares a strategic plan every 3 years. The most recent is 2018 - 2020 and includes a vision statement, mission statement, values/aims/objectives, pillars, goals and tasks.
Annual reports are produced and presented to the community after the close of each calendar year. Here are links to the last two annual reports annual_report_2019_word_doc.pdf and our 2020 Annual Report and our 2020 Financial report.
Our 2019 Community Needs Assessment provided feedback from our community on current programs and services offered by QNH. Residents and stakeholders had a say about the current and future needs of residents so QNH can now plan to provide relevant programs and services as the needs of the community change over time. Here is the Executive Summary for the 2019 Community Needs Assessment
Queenscliffe Neighbourhood House is supported by NHVIC and part of the Barwon Network of Neighbourhood Houses
