If you would like to find out how well you could be hearing, then I invite you to visit our hearing centre in Johnsonville, for a FREE Lifestyle Hearing Assessment. We can even demonstrate what a difference hearing aids can make for you, free of charge and without obligation.
If you mention Neighbourly, we will give you a $250 discount off any hearing aid system you purchase... because we want to be good neighbours!
Hi all, I have 6 hand painted cardboard carousel horses free to a good home. They were made & used for a carnival themed Xmas party. Still in pretty good condition (few bumps n bends). Would be great for a kids party or as wall decorations for a kindergarten. PM me if interested 😁

Thinking of hiring a local contractor to do some renovations on your house? A good rule of thumb is to obtain more than one quote, particularly if you are investing a large sum of money.
- Do you know the difference between a quote or an estimate?
- Will you need to hire multiple contractors?

There can be big differences in the prices – make sure you ask why. If you want a good result, the more you think about upfront the better. Follow our checklists, information, and tools to help you through the process.
Hey neighbours, are you thinking of borrowing money by taking out a loan?

Before you do - there's a few things you really need to know about. Take a minute and read the tips below to ensure you're asking the right questions and getting the best loan for you.
1. Shop around! Interest rates, fees and terms must be made available to you by the lender. Make sure you compare details and make an informed decision about what loan is best for you.
2. Choose a lender. Did you know that when you borrow money to buy something, you don’t have to borrow from the same person who is selling the goods?
3. Understand. Whoever is loaning you the money must ask questions to make sure you can afford the loan. They also need to help you understand the key terms of the loan.
4. Be prepared. You'll need to provide your lender with information to show that you can afford to repay the loan. This might include proof of income and expenses so make sure you have it ready.
Don't get on Auntie's bad side and do your research! You can find more information here.
