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.

Indigenous Hospitality House (IHH) Learning Circles
Since the start of 2019, the Mercy Hub has hosted monthly Learning Circles led by the Indigenous Hospitality House (IHH). 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.
