We are facing a challenging time right now as a community. This can also be a time when communities find creative ways to support each other, and that is something we will be trying to do over the weeks and months ahead as the COVID-19 situation unfolds.
We want to ensure we are following all the latest government health advice to ensure we deliver services safely.
We acknowledge that there are likely to be impacts on our current programs due to staff illness and isolation. We will try to minimise these impacts as much as possible.
For now unfortunately we have had to cancel our weekly One Stop Shop on Thursdays (apart from Boarding House Outreach service intake for case management for people living in Boarding Houses). Please find further information on all forms of support during the COVID-19 crisis here.
We will continue to be available by phone every weekday for phone referrals to the following NNC services:
- General Information and referral - Phone 9564 7333 and dial 4 - the team will be keeping up to dates with what services are available in the community to assist you
- Boarding House Outreach Service – Phone 9564 7333 and dial 1 - case management 1:1 support for Boarding House residents - likely to be provided by phone in the foreseeable future
- Aged Care Social Support Services for Individuals and Groups – We encourage referrals to come directly through My Aged Care. Alternatively you can call 9564 7333 and dial 5
If you are interested in registering to potentially assist people in future who may need help who are ageing and socially isolated, please let us know by providing your contact details here
Note: we can't guarantee how quickly we can get back to you right now, but we would love to know of your potential interest.
If you need to reach us please also feel free to email admin@newtowncentre.org and your inquiry will be passed to the right person.
Thanks for your patience and understanding as we all work through the challenges ahead.
Newtown Neighbourhood Centre (NNC) aims to build an inclusive, resilient, self-reliant and creative community.
The Centre provides community support services to the local community and in particular to disadvantaged groups such as the aged, people at risk of homelessness, people with mental illness, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and people on low incomes.
Here at the Centre, we provide assistance to people who are the most vulnerable, with a particular focus on those at risk of social isolation, homelessness and domestic violence.
We also do fun stuff like Newtown Market and Newtown Festival!
We are only able to do what we do with the support of our community, and we want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Interested in hearing more from NNC?
We want to see an end to homelessness in our city!
We are thrilled to be launching our volunteer outreach program in Sydney’s CBD and we need your support.
The Newtopian Outreachers program involves volunteers taking part in monthly outreach, engaging with people experiencing homelessness and offering assistance. This may include how to access temporary crisis accommodation, where to get meals or where to find other local support services.
This project is about creating a sense of community and changing perceptions and assumptions about people experiencing homelessness.
