Community Houses Association of the Outer Eastern Suburbs
In the business of strengthening communities and learning, we work together to ensure our committees, staff and volunteers are also resourced to learn and thrive.
About CHAOS
CHAOS supports the work of Neighbourhood Houses and Learning Centres with their communities. We do this through linking, resourcing and advocating on behalf of our members. The network also initiates projects which enhances opportunities member Houses provide for community members and showcases the role Houses play in the health, wellbeing and life long learning of our communities.
We are a network of 30 Neighbourhood Houses and Centres based in the Outer Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne.
