Whittlesea Community Connections (WCC) started in 1973 as a small volunteer-run organisation operating from a solicitors office upstairs in Lalor. Since then the organisation has grown to employ over 30 staff and 300 volunteers who work together to address the needs of individuals and groups facing disadvantage, isolation and obstacles to effective social and economic participation. WCC values their staff who are offered above award salaries and flexible working arrangements in a supportive work environment.
