Connect Victoria Park Inc

About this member: Connect Victoria Park Inc. is committed to changing the way we age by providing quality affordable housing for those over 60, as well as opportunities for connection and wellness for everyone 55+.

Connect Victoria Park collaborates with older people to increase wellbeing and to support ageing in the community. We use a Housing + Hub model to achieve that.   The Housing + Hub model is an innovative solution to address social isolation, health needs of an ageing population, and the housing crisis for low income older people, especially older single women.

​Our Community Housing – 70 studio apartments and one-bedroom units on Mackie and Cargill Streets in Vic Park – was built over three decades starting in the 1960s. Since then it has provided for the most fundamental human needs – safety and security – to generations of older people.

Our Village Hub offers ways for people 55+ to pursue other needs – belonging and love, social connection, self-esteem, and purpose. Tenants in our housing are automatically members of the Village Hub.  Established in 2018, the Village Hub is the first of its kind in Western Australia, with more than 300 members. It is an outlet for members and tenants to find others with similar interests, strike friendships, run groups around activities of interest, and support each other as they age.  Being part of the Village Hub has increased members quality of life over the years. It brings people together, reinforcing community bonds and greatly benefitting our Community Housing tenants.
