North East Neighbourhood House Network Incorporated
The North East Neighbourhood House Network Incorporated is a nonprofit organisation established in 2000 to support community-driven neighbourhood houses and learning centres in Melbourne's northeastern suburbs. Registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC), it operates as an umbrella entity for 35 member organisations across the municipalities of Banyule, Darebin, Nillumbik, Whittlesea, and Yarra[3][5].

Structure and operations
The network strengthens member organisations by facilitating governance support, operational guidance, and professional development forums[4]. It focuses on enhancing community engagement through localised services, including education programs and social support initiatives, tailored to the needs of diverse neighbourhoods[2]. Membership is open to eligible neighbourhood houses and learning centres within its service area[3].

Governance
As an incorporated association, the organisation adheres to regulatory standards set by the ACNC, ensuring accountability in resource allocation and service delivery[2][5]. Its activities align with the broader Australian neighbourhood house movement, which prioritises community capacity-building and equitable access to social infrastructure[1][4].
