Melbourne Maritime Heritage Network (MMHN) functions a ‘network,’ structured in order to capture the expertise and enthusiasm of the diverse maritime stakeholders in Victoria and beyond – individuals, groups and organisations.

MMHN members collectively work towards greater recognition, by government and the wider public, that maritime sector was and still is of critical importance to State and national prosperity – past, present and future.

There is a lot of advocacy work to be done to achieve such recognition. If you have any skills or any particular interests and you want to be involved in MMHN then we want to hear from you!  The MMHN Board welcomes your input and all members are welcome to join any of the MMHN Special Advisory Groups working towards stated MMHN objectives or helping with any other MMHN projects or tasks.
