Tenants

A diverse range of community groups within Ross House offer the Victorian Community supportive services to enable people from all backgrounds to make informed decisions and to participate in a more equitable society.

The Ross House Association generates a strong community alliance within its membership. Whilst all groups retain their autonomy, each individual organisation is like a brick upon which a solid shared community resource is built.
