Our Lismore Office is moving soon! Keeping with the theme of community and togetherness, we are excited to announce that will be moving into our new Lismore office premises very soon where we will, once again, be located in the heart of the Lismore CBD. We will be located at Suite 1, Level 1, 29 Molesworth Street, Lismore (for those who are familiar with Lismore, it’s the Westlawn Building on the corner of Molesworth and Woodlark Streets). Our phone number will remain the same (02) 6627 5300. We are very excited about having all of our Lismore office staff located together again in the one office as we have been opera ng from separate, temporary offices in Ballina and Lismore since the 2022 floods. This is a fantas c step forward as we look to the future of NRH being able to provide face-to-face service to our clients in Lismore. Tenants will be no fied when we’ve moved into our new office. As we look to the future, let's carry forward the values of compassion, inclusion, and support that have defined Northern Rivers Housing for the past four decades. Together, we can con nue to build a stronger, more vibrant community where everyone has a place to call home.
Please note that our offices will be closed for the Easter break from 4pm on Thursday, 28 March and we will re-open for business at 9am on Tuesday, 2 April 2024. We will also be closed on Thursday, 25 April 2024 for the ANZAC Day public holiday.
