Let’s get to know one more incredible member of the team who makes the North Richmond Community Hub feel like home — meet Khanh.

"If someone in the community is visiting the Hub for the first time, I want you to know our team are here to support and help you."

Khanh, our Help and Support Coordinator at the Community Hub, works tirelessly to ensure community members feel supported and cared for.

Born and raised in Vietnam, Khanh began his Australian journey around 16 years ago. After running a local business in Richmond for many years, he joined NRCH in 2023 to continue giving back to the community he knows so well.

In his role, Khanh assists community members with a wide range of needs - from supporting the relocation questions from the community to helping them with paperwork. His ability to speak both Vietnamese and English allows him to bridge language and cultural connections, making him a familiar and trusted face within the community.

"I used to own a business nearby, so I already knew some of the community members closely. It is very easy for me to interact with them here.” Khanh shares, as he recalls his long-standing bond with the Vietnamese community at NRCH. Living in public housing himself, he related deeply to the experiences of those he supports, demonstrating that understanding through his work.

Each Tuesday, Khanh leads the Men's Walking Group. Meeting at 10am at the Hub, this 1.5-hour stroll is filled with beautiful views, coffee breaks, and friendly chats. Khanh radiates warmth and has a wonderful ability to find joy and share it with everyone around him. He describes the Hub as a vibrant, welcoming space where everyone belongs.

“The more you visit, the more it feels like home.”

Meet another friendly face from the team at the North Richmond Community Hub - Manal, our Community Hub Coordinator.

"If someone is visiting the hub for the first time, I would tell them that this is like their second home."

Manal helps create a space where everyone feels welcome and connected. Starting her Australian journey in 2010 as a migrant from Egypt with Sudanese background, Manal has worked in multiple roles at NRCH - from Cafe Assistant to Help and Support Coordinator, and now as the Community Hub Coordinator.

In her role, Manal manages the Hub community rooms, supports community members using Hub services, and helps coordinate volunteers, staff, and partnerships. Fluent in Arabic, she connects and supports Arabic-speaking community members.

As a public housing resident in the City of Yarra, Manal relates personally to the community. One memorable moment involved helping a community member who lost her phone on a tram. She worked with a volunteer and tram staff to find it - and the first call the community member made was to thank her.

“To know she trusts us, and we have this trust with our community makes it worthwhile.”

Manal welcomes all community members to make the Hub their second home. With free activities, welcoming spaces, and tea and coffee to enjoy, she hopes everyone feels a sense of belonging with the staff and the wider community.

We’re shining a light on some of our friendly team supporting the North Richmond Community Hub.

“When we share our stories, we learn how to be kinder to each other.”

Meet Hoa, our Help and Support Coordinator at North Richmond Community Health’s Hub. She brings heart, understanding, and community spirit to everything she does.

Born and raised in Vietnam, Hoa moved to Australia in 2009 and now lives in Richmond’s public housing estate with her two children. Since joining NRCH in 2021, she has become a trusted face in the community, always ready to lend a hand, offer a kind word, or simply listen.

In her role, Hoa supports community members in many ways - from assisting with the relocation project and helping people complete paperwork, to translating for Vietnamese clients and running activities like English for Everyone and Strength and Balance at the Hub. She helps make sure everyone feels supported and included.

“When I ran a conversation group with the Vietnamese community, we shared our feelings and what we’ve learnt living in Australia,” Hoa recalls. “It brought us closer, and now they [community members] come to chat with me about anything! Knowing they trust me, and my team makes my job feel meaningful.”

As someone who shares the same lived experiences as many of the people she supports, Hoa believes that connection and empathy are at the heart of her work. She loves seeing community members build networks, form friendships, and feel a sense of belonging at the Hub.

“If someone visits the Hub for the first time, I’d tell them to connect with others and make the most of the free activities and support available,” Hoa shares. “They’re always welcome to have a cup of coffee or tea, enjoy the free wifi too and feel at home here.”

Our Story

North Richmond Community Health is proud to provide award winning health services to the community.

North Richmond Community Health began supporting the Richmond community on Wurundjeri land in 1974. Then called the North Richmond Family Care Centre, it was an organisation built to support the diverse needs of the 4,000 strong community members of the Langdon Park Ministry of Housing estate.

A group of progressive doctors approached the estate’s community-led Tenants Union in the early 1970s, and together they came up with the idea of a health centre that didn’t just provide vital medical services, but also fostered and supported the community.

We work with everybody in this community and try to deliver services that work for all people regardless of their background.
