Services and groups in Maroondah
In response to the increasing numbers of refugees settling in the City of Maroondah, Council, in partnership with Victoria Police, has developed a directory designed for use by local service providers, community groups, migrants and refugees, and the general community. The 34-page booklet contains the contact details of around 60 local services and community groups, and briefly describes the ways in which they may assist newly-arrived refugees and migrants to settle in Maroondah.
The booklet is also available in hardcopy from any Council Service Centre, by contacting Council's Social Planner on 9298 4220 or by emailing your mailing details and the number of booklets you require.
