North East Defence Community

Adelaide Defence families are all welcome at the North East Defence Community (NEDC)! We're located at the Edinburgh Community Centre and cater to families from Navy, Army and Air Force.

We provide a support group for Defence families to get to know other Defence families in the area who are also facing challenges that Defence life throws our way. The NEDC organises events and activities to allow families to develop relationships easier in heir posting locations - some of the types of sessions are detailed below. We look forward to meeting you and your family!

Family Days

Every two months we organise a Family Day on a Sunday at the Edinburgh Community Centre or to a location around Adelaide - Semaphore Steam Train, BBQ down the beach, ST Kilda playground & pub lunch.... These are a great activity for all the family to get involved in and introduce new families to fun locations around Adelaide.

Ladies Nights Out

Have a break and come along to a Ladies Night Out - held every two months, it's a good opportunity to meet other Defence Spouses in Adelaide and enjoy a nice meal, night at the movies, bowling, a show at the theatre or whatever takes our fancy!

C3 Group

The C3 Craft - Coffee, Chat and Craft - is held every 3rd Thursday of the month in the evening at the Edinburgh Community Centre. No crafting experience necessary - usually consultants come in to teach us somethng fun and it's a good excuse to get to know the other ladies better and have a chat!

Playgroup

During the school term on Wednesday (09:30-1230) and Fridays (09:30-1130) there are Playgroup sessions for ages 0 to 5. there is free play, music, story-time, craft and outside play to keep your little ones busy.

School Holiday Activities

During the school holidays there are sessions on Wednesdays and Fridays where we arrange an activity on base at Edinburgh or an outing to a location around Adelaide - the wildlife park, a playground, railway museum....
