Casey

Casey Community

Across the City of Casey, community participation takes many forms: learning a new skill at a neighbourhood house, joining an environmental working bee, sharing local stories through community radio or offering practical help to a neighbour. Community centres and houses provide places for children, families and adults to take part, while volunteer networks connect residents with local organisations seeking assistance. There are also culturally specific, disability-focused and support services for people who need information, advocacy or a helping hand.

The organisations below cover Casey and nearby parts of Melbourne’s south-east where a documented Casey connection is available. Activities range from social and creative programs to volunteering, community projects and practical support. Each group has its own arrangements, so the description notes important conditions where they apply.
