a dream within reach

Invest in the future of Mallacoota

We are a community-led charitable organisation dedicated to seeing Mallacoota thrive. Your support helps us create real opportunities—empowering young people and families to build financial independence, establish sustainable livelihoods, and ensure our small town prospers for generations to come. Together, we’re shaping a stronger future—join us!

A Community on the Rise

Nestled at the easternmost point of Victoria, Mallacoota is more than a picturesque seaside town. It is a community brimming with resilience, creativity, and a deep-seated love for the place we call home. In the aftermath of the 2019/20 Black Summer bushfires, our town faced unprecedented challenges—from lost homes to the decimation of our primary industries of tourism and abalone.

Yet, from the ashes of adversity, a new vision took root—a vision driven by the unwavering determination of five local women spanning three generations.

Our Vision

The Wilderness Collective was established with a clear mission: to harness the power of innovation and entrepreneurship.  By fostering a culture of collaboration and creativity, we aim to create a sustainable, thriving hub where local businesses can flourish, jobs are created, and the economy is revitalised.

Our community space at 56 Maurice Avenue offers a beacon of progress, providing co-working facilities, knowledge programs, and enterprise support. It is a place where ideas and innovation converge, showcasing sustainability and empowering our community to thrive.
