Ti-Tree Rental Housing CERC
The Common Equity Rental Housing Co-operative (CERC) Program provides for the establishment of viable, long term, non profit, consumer-controlled rental housing co-operatives. The Program uses government and loan funds to acquire properties which are then leased to approved co-operatives. Ti-Tree CERC is one such approved co-operative. There are other local CERCs in the Frankston area.
Ti-Tree CERC is a voluntary non-profit organisation that provides a supportive environment for members. These members take responsibility for all tasks associated with running a housing co-operative, including the management of houses rented to its members. The group meets monthly and can be contacted via
Post Box No. 632, Frankston, Victoria 3199, Australia.

Dads in Distress (DIDS)
Parents Beyond Breakup
We are a peer, support group that deals with family and/or partner separation. Dads in Distress are a safe and non-judgemental place where you can come talk and share your issues and experiences such as marriage break up, access to children or loved one/s.
One of the most common things people say to us is how surprised they are that there are so many others going through the same thing. Sadly, it is a fact.
Reach out to us and come meet others in ‘the same boat” - you will be surprised just how much they can help you, and you them.
Meets every Wednesday evening at 7.30pm. For more information contact Thomas Devonport 0428 311 311.
