If you are new to Canberra, we can help you find your way around. If you are visiting Canberra, we can offer ideas on what to do and how to get there. Our Community Diary has a large range of community, social and entertainment events.

The internet is a big place, so we’ve created a range of essential Info Guides on some of the most popular topics for Canberrans. We keep them up-to-date as a short-list of resources and services. Topics include ‘New to Canberra guide’, ‘Free meal, laundry and shower guide’ and ‘Student guide’.

Tax Help 2024 will be available at the Community Info Hub on Fridays between 10am and 2pm commencing 2 August 2024. 

Bookings are essential and can be made in person at the Hub, by phone on (02) 6248 7988 or by email at info@volunteeringact.org.au.
