The Hub is a gathering space for hospitality, education, reflection and mission.
Since the opening of the Hub in April 2016, we have built connections with a range of local community groups
and provided a space for diverse events.

The Indigenous Hospitality House in Carlton North hosts Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are supporting a family member in Melbourne’s hospitals. Learning Circles are open to all, and are an opportunity to reflect on what is being learned while offering hospitality to Aboriginal people.
