About the organisation
Established in 1984, Fitzroy Learning Network (FLN) is in the heart of Fitzroy - a suburb where some of Melbourne’s wealthiest live alongside some of Melbourne’s most disadvantaged. It is a place where refugees, migrants, asylum seekers and those living on the public housing estates of inner Melbourne find support, help to settle into their new community and where they can learn and connect.
