The Order of Malta and ACU Community Hub

The Order of Malta and ACU Community Hub is fostering significant and impactful collaborations with communities in the Darebin LGA (Melbourne).

Since 2022, the Order of Malta and ACU have partnered to explore and enact mission-aligned opportunities for community engagement within Darebin, that is based on community inclusion and collaboration.

Originally conceptualised as a 'bricks and mortar' provision, early collaborations with community organisations proposed a mobile hub that is agile to deliver place-based community engagement activities.

As a mobile unit, the community hub connects with community members in the familiar and safe places they gather, where they can encourage honest conversations, and understand community perspectives, needs and aspirations. When invited by communities to assist them in meeting their goals, the community hub garners, coordinates and supports community-engaged partnerships with local organisations, ACU students and volunteers.

In partnership with the Order of Malta Australia.
