A Stronger Wedderburn Community House in Ripon

A re-elected Andrews Labor Government will support Wedderburn Community House with a $50,000 grant.

Wedderburn Community House offers opportunities for education, training and social interaction along with a range of business services.

Labor is doing what matters – backing the important community organisations that help us all.

There are just over 400 Neighbourhood Houses across Victoria and for years the Wedderburn Community House has brought people within the local area together to meet, socialise, and mobilise to achieve positive community outcomes.

By continuing to invest in what matters, we will secure the future of this important community organisation.

That’ll mean more locals will be better supported by the hardworking volunteers and staff, helping to deliver community-based services for Wedderburn.

We’ll make sure they are well equipped to help local families and members of the community, ensuring every Victorian gets the help and support they need, when they need it – and closer to home.

The Andrews Labor Government has always delivered on what matters for local communities, ensuring neighbourhoods have accessible wellbeing and support services close to home.
