The Ballarat East Neighbourhood House is a support and referral service, not a crisis service. We are able to support community members by providing information about local crisis services and contact details.

We are open Tuesdays to Fridays from 9.00 am - 5.00 pm during school term. You can call us on 0422 612 052 during these hours. If we are not able to answer your call, please leave a message and we will call you back.
