Welcome to our Community House

The Derwent Valley region is located 40 minutes north of Hobart, Tasmania.  The New Norfolk township is an attractive semi-rural area, with the Derwent River flowing freely through.  The township has a rich history with many colonial buildings for visitors and locals to enjoy.

The Derwent Valley Community House is a member of the community house network of 34 houses in Tasmania.  We provide a wide range of services to our local community, including learning opportunities, access to service providers and a place to meet socially.

Importantly, the House provides a warm, friendly and non-discriminatory environment with services such as:

• Community information
• Referral, support and resources
• Free community internet access

The decision of what services will be offered to the community is decided by our volunteer Management Committee, using their own local knowledge, community surveys, ABS statistics and discussion with a wide range of service providers.

We are often approached by other organisations to work in partnership or support their work.  Currently the Derwent Valley Community House provides space for a number of service providers, enabling their services to be accessible to the local community.

Activities provided by the Derwent Valley Community House range from the Children's Choir, Craft group and an Adult Learning Program offering various opportunities to the local community.  A major activity undertaken by the Derwent Valley Community House is the monthly Community Market which sees over 50 stalls and 300 people attend.

We also offer a number of one-off activities such as our Youth Employment and Training Expo, Healthy and Lovin It Expo and training opportunities such as First Aid courses, Mental Health First Aid, etc
