In 1983, Springvale Neighbourhood House was born as a brand new mudbrick room—”beloved daughter of Springvale Community Aid & Advice Bureau”. The House was built as a special meeting space for small community groups, with resources, support, advice and a “home” away from home. Through incorporation in 1987, we gained our autonomy, developing a dynamic relationship with the Bureau and also the wide world at our doorstep.

To this day, Springvale is a testament to how innovative thinking, positive attitudes and a warm welcome can build a strong cohesive vibrant community.

Springvale Neighbourhood House continues to welcome newly arrived migrants, refugees and asylum seekers as well as people who are new to the area and established residents.

Everyone is welcome at Springvale Neighbourhood House regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, religion, ability or visa status.
