Member Benefits

By becoming a member of the Village Hub, you are joining a community.

You will meet new people, socialise, learn new things, have fun, be exposed to different perspectives. You will be called to contribute, volunteer, offer your skills, time and knowledge. You will have an outlet for your passions and interests, and a mechanism to propel yourself into new things. You will have the opportunity to help frail members in the community, as well as ask for assistance when you need help.

Members can choose how much they want to be involved, and the biggest benefits come from truly immersing yourself in the Village Hub. In the same way, the Village Hub community will be richer as more members participate and contribute.

There are several ways you can shape your Village Hub experience: offer to help others out with small tasks, help organise a monthly sundowner or a special luncheon, start a new group to discuss your topic of interest or to go out & about in town.

All members have access to the Members Help Centre and Neighbour-to-Neighbour program, as well as a variety of courses and classes, engaging activities and events throughout the year.

To know more about Village Hub memberships and how you can benefit as much as possible from being part of our community, please contact us at (08) 9361 2904 or admin@connectvictoriapark.org.

Social connection

Connect Portal

Meet people with similar interests or discover new perspectives. The Village Hub is a fun way to connect with community, make friends, socialise, have fun and support each other.

Current members welcome newcomers to classes and activities, and there's plenty of opportunities to develop new connections and form friendships: a monthly sundowner, weekly lunches, coach trips and special events.

Help Centre

Connect Help Centre

Members can access the Village Hub Help Centre, a central contact point to assist with practical issues in staying healthy, living independently, or any other aspect of ageing.

The Village Hub staff and volunteers are available to meet individually and assist members with issues including home care packages, enduring power of attorney, insurance, passport and other applications.

Neighbour-to-Neighbour

Connect Resources

The Village Hub Neighbour-to-Neighbour volunteering program matches members who need a bit of help at home or in the garden to other members of volunteers who are able to assist.

Neighbour-to-Neighbour volunteers have helped Village Hub members with simple handyman tasks at home, moving furniture, rides to appointments, pet care, decluttering and companionship.
