Welcome to the Duntroon Community Centre!
We're here to support Canberra defence members and their families.
Hello and welcome to our new blog! We are thrilled to have you join us on this journey as we share updates from the centre, and helpful tips about life in the beautiful city of Canberra.
Allow us to introduce ourselves. We are the Duntroon Community Centre, a hub of activity located in the heart of this vibrant city. We've been around for 40 years and our mission is to support defence members and their families who are posted to Canberra and the surrounding region. You can find us online here and on
Facebook, and of course you can find us
at the centre on base at Duntroon.
What to Expect From our Blog
This blog is a place for us to share helpful updates from the centre and to share information to live your best Canberra life during your time here.
Join us here for tips and tricks for settling into Canberra, activities you shouldn't miss during your time here, and also some helpful tips for defence life (how to patch picture hook holes, anyone?!).
If there's something you'd like to see covered here, or if you'd like to share some of your own writing here, get in touch using the form on this page.
What is available at the Duntroon Community Centre?
At the Duntroon Community Centre, we believe in creating a space that offers something for everyone. Our diverse range of programs and events cater to individuals, families, and the wider defence community.
For families with young children, we have exciting offerings such as Playschool and Playgroup. Our Playschool program provides a safe and nurturing environment for children to learn and grow through play-based activities. Additionally, our Playgroup sessions encourage socialization and provide a wonderful opportunity for parents and children to connect with others in a supportive setting.
During school holidays, we organize special events to keep your little ones entertained. From fun-filled craft workshops to cooking lessons, our holiday events are designed to spark creativity and keep kids engaged during their break.
We offer a variety of wellness programs to help you maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle. From yoga and fitness classes to meditation and mindfulness workshops, we have something to suit all interests and abilities.
For those looking to unleash their creative side, our Craft Group provides a space where individuals can gather to explore various crafts, share ideas, and create beautiful handmade items. If you're an avid reader, our Book Club is the perfect place to discuss literature, discover new authors, and engage in thought-provoking conversations.
Additionally, our community dinners are a great way to connect with your neighbors and enjoy delicious meals together. These dinners not only satisfy your taste buds but also foster a sense of belonging and camaraderie within our community.
We are continuously adding new programs and
events to our calendar, so be sure to check our website and blog regularly for updates. Whether you're seeking personal growth, family fun, or community connections, the Duntroon Community Centre is here to provide a supportive environment where you can thrive and enjoy all that life in Canberra has to offer.
