Green thumbs and gardeners can get amongst the greenery by joining the Community Garden Group on Friday mornings from 9:30 a.m. Help out with watering duties, weeding, planting and generally tending to the community veggie patches and flower beds. It’s a great way to get outdoors and meet other locals who share your interests.

English Conversation Classes

In addition, the centre resumes its popular English conversation classes which are free and for everyone. Separate classes for men and women provide a supportive environment to practise speaking English, make new friends and learn more about the language.

With all these activities back up and running, why not make a trip down to The Hub this February and get involved? It’s the perfect place to try something new, connect with your community and keep active both mentally and physically.

About the HUB

The HUB Neighbourhood Centre originated in 1986 when concerned Inala residents sought to address the isolation of elderly community members. What began as informal social gatherings in a private home eventually led to the establishment of a registered association that convened at the local community health facility. In 1989, a Queensland government grant allowed HUB Centre to officially open its own permanent premises. Paid staff came on board in 1994 to assist volunteers in delivering essential services and programs to the community.

About Inala Youth Service and the HUB Neighbourhood Centre Inala

The IYS – Inala Youth Service is an integrated full service support catering for the young people and families in the Greater Brisbane area. IYS has been operating for more than 30 years.

Inala Youth Service was formed originally as an organisation under the Youth Advocacy Centre Inc. in 1986, initially providing three-month housing options for youth and families. It was incorporated as Inala Youth Care Community Inc. in 1988 and started trading as Inala Youth Service in 2007.

Today, IYS provides an array of services to support the youth and families including:

  • School Support – provides assistance to local schools such as student welfare workers, youth support coordinators and chaplains
  • Specialist Housing Support – provides support to young people aged between 16 and 25 who are currently experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
  • Community-Based Youth Support – program aimed at helping youth connect to positive family support, engage in education and /or employment, lead a healthy life that is free from violence, and have a safe and stable place to live.
  • The Hut – is a youth outreach centre which provides free activities, afternoon tea and a place for the youth to hang out after school.
  • VIETFAM – is IYS’s Vietnamese Families program assisting local Vietnamese families to help promote their children’s well being.


The Hub Neighbourhood Centre Inala started in 1986 with a vision to establish a drop in centre for the older members of the community where they could socialise and build relationships. The State Government donated a house for the organisation in 1989 and paved the way to the Hub Neighbourhood Centre. Over the years, the Centre has evolved into an information and referral service. 

In 2015, the Hub Neighbourhood Centre Inala merged with South West Brisbane Community Legal Centre Inc.,  further broadening its services to include legal advice services and promotion of social justice in Inala and its surrounding suburbs.
