Not-for-profit community groups, clubs and organisations based in the Shire of Glenelg or City of Warrnambool are welcome to list a profile.  Connect does not include for-profit services, commercial business listings or political organisations.

Exceptions may be made where an organisation primarily offers activities / services in the areas of arts, culture, health and / or well-being and is considered by Connect administrators to have a positive impact on the community.

Only groups, clubs and organisations whose activities are deemed non-discriminatory and legal will be listed.

Glenelg Shire Council and/or Warrnambool City Council (“Connect administrators”) will decide whether an organisation’s profile is listed on Connect in their sole and absolute discretion.  Decisions by Connect administrators about whether an organisation’s profile is listed on Connect cannot be appealed and organisations do not have a right to apply to have such a decision reviewed.
