NOT FOR PROFITPNH is a registered not-for-profit incorporated association supported by members' fees plus State (DHHS) and Local Government (CoGG) funding. Neighbourhood Houses Victoria is our peak body, providing governance oversight, advocacy, big-picture support and liability insurance cover for all our members' activities. Incorporated associations in Victoria must have a governing document that sets out the rules and procedures for how the group will operate. This document is called the association's 'rules' or its 'constitution'. When incorporated associations are set up, they can choose between adopting the 'model rules', which are a template set of rules, or writing their own rules that meet the legal requirements of the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012. PNH has adopted its own Constitution. PNH is also part of the Barwon Network of Neighbourhood Houses (BNNH). The BNNH provides practical guidance and collective support to neighbourhood houses across the region.
