Welcome to Brisbane and the GBCC!
The Gallipoli Barracks Community Centre has a rich history of serving the families of Australian Defence Force personnel, having been established in 1991 with a mission to provide vital support and services to the Defence community. As a non-profit, incorporated organisation, it has remained dedicated to its purpose, evolving to meet the unique needs of ADF families stationed at Enoggera Barracks and the surrounding areas. Managed by a dedicated Management Committee of volunteers from within the Defence community, the centre ensures that its services and initiatives are driven by those who truly understand the challenges and experiences of Defence families. This volunteer-led approach highlights the centres commitment to fostering a sense of belonging and support, while also promoting active community involvement. By providing a welcoming space for friendship, personal development, and community engagement, the Gallipoli Barracks Community Centre continues to play a crucial role in strengthening the bonds within the Defence community, ensuring that families feel supported and connected throughout their time at Enoggera Barracks. Our primary source of funding comes from the Family Support Funding Program. This is provided by the Department of Defence through the Defence People Group. |

It was officially established in the early 20th century when the area was used for field training, although the area was used by military units as far back as the mid-19th century. Since then it has been developed into a modern military base, which is now home to units of the 7th and 11th Brigades.
