Manning Clark House (MCHI) warmly welcomes everyone to be part of a vibrant community dedicated to culture, creativity, and connection. As a not-for-profit organisation registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC), we’ve been bringing people together since 1997, thanks to the vision of Dymphna Clark, the wife of renowned historian Manning Clark. She dreamed of keeping their beautiful heritage-listed home in Forrest, Canberra, alive as a hub of cultural, intellectual, and social activity.
