About GC House

GC House is founder led and community supported.

GC House is a community driven initiative supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people relocating to the Southern Gold Coast to access education and opportunity.

GC House began through community connections with families seeking education opportunities for their children but facing limited accommodation options when relocating for school.

The initiative was founded by James and Emily Martell after recognising the shortage of safe, supported accommodation available for young people relocating to access schooling.

GC House Ltd is currently progressing through charity registration.
