Community Contact Service
About the service
The Community Contact Service is a social enterprise that provides employment and training opportunities to public housing tenants on the Fitzroy (Atherton Gardens), Collingwood and Richmond housing estates in inner Melbourne. It offers a concierge, information and recycling service on the estates.
Trainees on the program are employed over a 12-month period, during which they complete a Certificate III in Community Services Work. This accreditation and on-the-job support give trainees the skills required to gain and maintain employment beyond the life of their traineeship.
The Community Contact Service started in 2005 and has had outstanding success in getting job seekers into real work.

The Community Contact Service seeks to employ public housing tenants and local residents of the City of Yarra.
