Welcome to PCLC

PCLC is a not-for-profit community-based organisation located in the striking Grattan Gardens Community Centre in the eclectic and energetic suburb of Prahran. PCLC offers a variety of activities, workshops, and non-accredited courses and programs to people from a variety of backgrounds and with diverse needs. Our aim is to provide support and opportunities for people to connect with each other and feel part of a community.

Because we have an open door policy, we welcome everyone including local residents, students, families, as well as people managing multiple and complex issues such as mental and physical health needs, housing insecurity, family violence, chronically low income, drug and alcohol dependency, and unemployment.

Feel free to visit us at any time. We are always interested in collaborating with other organisations and individuals to run more activities and programs.
