QFCA is now NCQ
Queensland Families & Communities Association (QFCA) has rebranded, and we are now known as Neighbourhood Centres Queensland (NCQ).
To reflect our growing organisation and focus, we officially changed our name in December 2021.
Our new name better represents who we are, the work we do, and our connection to the broader Neighbourhood Centre movement and values.
