About Us What we do Highlands Community Centres Incorporated is a grass-roots, community-based organisation that has worked across the Southern Highlands for over 32 years providing life improving services and programs for all people living in our local communities. The Community Centre is located at Stafford Cottage in Bowral, and Highlands Youth Services works from the Youth Hub at Loseby Park. We are a Targeted Earlier Intervention service, working with children, young people, adults and families to access support when required to prevent issues from escalating and to empower them to lead independent and meaningful lives. We have Community Workers and Youth Workers available to listen and help. They will provide advice, guidance, information, make referrals, and advocate on your behalf on a wide range of issues.
