24.01.2022 We are all set up and very excited to start welcoming back students to the Centre in Term 3. Things will work a little differently, so we prepared a quick video... to show you the simple new procedures to help us all stay COVID safe. #rememberyourthermos #COVID #COVIDupdate #Community #CommunityCentre If you have any questions, please get in touch.

20.01.2022 Thank you so much to everyone that has shared information about the Outer East chatline. We really appreciate your assistance getting the word out, especially to people who do not have access to technology. The CHAOS team and Annie the super assistant

20.01.2022 If you were in hospital and unable to communicate, would your family know your wishes around treatment and care?Its hard to discuss and share this with our love...d ones, but it can help them to make decisions and for you to be cared for in the way you would like, should the need arise. In partnership with Orana Neighbourhood House we are offering a second free session on Advance Care Planning. You can attend in person ( subject to COVID -19 restrictions) or join us using Zoom on your device. We can assist you to get this set up prior. The session will be on Friday July 31st at 1.30pm. Bookings are essential, all details can be found in the flyer.

20.01.2022 Happy Neighbourhood House Week. Thank you to the many volunteers, committee members, staff and communities that make houses a place where anyone can go to meet others, learn, celebrate, exercise, upskill, laugh or simply be around others. Check your local Neighbourhood or Community House to see what they have on offer. For more information phone 1800 984 825

19.01.2022 Based on feedback we have updated the Outer East Chatline flyer to make it more clear that it is open to everyone. If you would like a soft copy to be able to distribute via email please contact email [email protected]

19.01.2022 They say that difficult situations can inspire innovation. What can Neighbourhood Houses do differently to keep the community engaged and supported even if we need to close our doors? This is a conversation that we need to have. What ideas do you have? And how can CHAOS assist you to do this?

18.01.2022 Perhaps a way of mapping the journey for ourselves, our houses and our communities?

17.01.2022 In response to everyone self isolating at home, the Community Houses Association of the Outer eastern Suburbs (CHAOSInc) is launching the Outer East Chatline on Monday April 6th. 1800 984 825 is a toll free number where you can ring for a chat, schedule a regular chat with us, have a bit of time out if you are caring for someone at home and find out what your Outer East of Melbourne Neighbourhood Houses and centres are offering (online, by post or teleconference).

13.01.2022 Working from home ... no one told me my assistant would make so much noise! Not great in the middle of an online meeting.

11.01.2022 Its the perfect week to thank those volunteers who are assisting to set up our Talking Cafe for people aged 65+ in the Knox Community. Im sure people are going to enjoy their weekly meetups and chats; sharing interests and learning more about whats happening in their community.

11.01.2022 Thank you to everyone who volunteers at neighbourhood and community houses across the CHAOS network....and with lots of other sport, arts, service, care and social groups. Many people give hours of their time along with their enthusiasm and skills to ensure our communities have well functioning, responsive organisations. A special shout out to all the wonderful volunteers involved in Be the Ripple and the Outer East Chatline. Thank you!!! #NVW2020 #WAVEFORVOLUNTEERS https://www.volunteeringaustralia.org///waveforvolunteers/

11.01.2022 It might be a good time for Houses to set up some Meet ups - do you have trainers or volunteers with a skill or interest who could run one from their home?

10.01.2022 If you know someone in the Knox area who would like to join our Talking Cafe please pass on this information. thank you

10.01.2022 maybe an option to explore for Houses wanting to engage the community in online learning?

09.01.2022 just one of the great projects CHAOS is facilitating in the Outer East! Check it out and share if possible thanks.

09.01.2022 Sharing this from a teacher but might also be useful for Community Houses setting up learning experiences remotely to communicate to their learners and participants!

08.01.2022 Our Living our Best Life project is progressing really well and preparing to help people participate in community activities just as soon as we can. Check out how its going in the latest newsletter

06.01.2022 The Safety Plus team had an awesome day helping out Peg, she is 102 years old and needed a BIG hand to tidy up her beautiful house. It was a great feeling of achievement for us all once it was all done.

06.01.2022 If you live in or around Knox, are 60 years plus and would like someone to assist you to find the right community group or activity for you please contact Living our Best Life project

05.01.2022 Dont forget to stop if you feel you are getting overwhelmed by all that is going on and take some deep breaths. Drop you shoulders and try "square " breathing Breath in to your stomach for four counts and imagine you are drawing vertical line, hold the breath for four counts and draw a line to the right angle to form the top of your square, exhale for four counts and draw a vertical line down to the bottom of your square, wait for four counts and visualise drawing the bottom line of your square, then start again.

04.01.2022 We could not put on a morning tea to thank our wonderful volunteers, so the lovely Leonie home delivered a little morning tea package and a gorgeous seed card ...made by the very obliging owners of Paper-Go-Round, to everyones homes. Thank you for volunteering with us and the difference you make! See more

04.01.2022 Lifes better with a plan Have the events of recent weeks got you thinking about whether your loved ones would know what your wishes are, if you were ill and un...able to communicate? Join us for a free session on Advanced Care Planning June 17th at 10am. Details are on the attached flyer. Bookings are essential. See more

03.01.2022 challenging times often brings innovation and in these Pandemic times it can often require looking back for ideas rather than relying on technology.

03.01.2022 Need something to make you smile? The zoo is live streaming some of its animals https://www.facebook.com/100000611877375//3079865158710516/

03.01.2022 Heres some inspiration from our colleagues in South Australia! wow!

02.01.2022 We know the future is anything but certain. But well stand with Victorians through whatever may come. Today we announced a plan to help get people back to work.... Because even though our restaurants and cafes are quiet, Victorians still need to eat. Frontline and emergency workers still rely on clean, safe public transport. And the communities that suffered so much just a few short months ago still need to be rebuilt. Our Working for Victoria Fund will give thousands of people who have lost their regular employment a chance to contribute towards our states pandemic response. Well need people to deliver food to isolated families. To keep our trams and trains safe and hygienic. To help our charities help communities. It will be a massive task unlike anything we have faced before. It will need all of us working together. And thats exactly what well do.

02.01.2022 To commemorate this years Reconciliation Week theme - In this Together, Mullum Mullum Indigenous Gathering Place are hosting an in home screening of the documentary "In My Blood it Runs", Friday May 29th at 7.30pm. Tickets can be purchased at www.fanforcetv.com
