About us
STREAT tackles the problem of youth disadvantage and homelessness by using its seven hospitality businesses to provide highly supported training and employment pathways for people aged 16 to 24. STREAT’s trainees all have very high needs and barriers to training and employment – including chronic homelessness, drug and alcohol dependency, family violence and mental health issues. Here’s the help we provide: Healthy self – wrap-around support including individual case management, linkages to specialist service providers as needed, group life skills programs, and creative and social activities. Healthy job – a range of hospitality programs including accredited Certificate II & III courses, and work experience programs. We also provide workplace training and mentoring for each young person across STREAT’s Melbourne cafes, bakery and kitchens. As a social enterprise, we reinvest 100% of our profits back into supporting and training our youth. Healthy home – we work towards our youth having a safe and long term place to live through partnerships with a wide range of housing services across Melbourne.

Why Work Integration Social Enterprises (WISEs) Work 💼 Research proves it: if someone stays in a job for 12 months, their lifetime employment prospects increase 5X (Rokkanen & Uusitalo, 2010). This is exactly why STREAT focuses on learning to earning pathways—helping young people break the cycle of disadvantage through real work experience with deep and extended wrap-around support. Programs like STREAT’s Fast Track to Work and Paid to Work don’t just teach skills; they help young people thrive, now and into the future. WISEs aren’t just changing lives—they’re transforming futures. 💡 Support workers should email our friendly Youth Program youthprograms@streat.com.au or call (03) 9629 4222 with any inquiries. #WISE #SocialEnterprise #Employment #FutureOfWork #LearningToEarning

On this World Social Enterprise Day, we're incredibly proud of all that we've achieved and delighted to bring Melbournians - the Purpose Precinct! Today is an important day to recognise and celebrate the incredible work being done by social enterprises worldwide. It's also an opportunity to encourage the broader community to support and choose Social Enterprises! Why not use this Christmas gifting as a way of giving with purpose - come down to the Queen Victoria Market and visit us (F Shed Peel St end) If you would like to learn more about STREAT's involvement in the Purpose Precinct go to www.purposeprecinct.org
Today on World Social Enterprise Day we celebrate the incredible work and impact of all social enterprises - transforming lives, rebuilding communities, ensuring no harm to the planet and creating an economy for all. We love this story that shows what's possible when social enterprises join together to grow and innovate... More than 100 Victorian social enterprises have now been part of the Purpose Precinct, an Australian-first initiative that brings together social enterprises across multiple spaces at Melbourne’s iconic Queen Victoria Market and beyond. The precinct nurtures ideas and innovation, providing opportunity for social enterprises to retail on site, launch new products, kickstart new businesses, or take part in state-wide incubation and enterprise development. Alongside multiple retail and activation spaces, and a cafe by social enterprise STREAT, the precinct includes the Moving Feast Kitchen, bringing innovation to solving the problem of food waste. The kitchen works with market stallholders to divert overripe or undersold produce for resale as long shelf-life products, with a 98% success rate. Moving Feast Eco-Chefs Chris Locke and Fernando Minervini experiment with discarded bread to come up with two solutions - high-quality ‘bread-waste pasta’ with eggs and flour added, and traditional Armenian lavosh crackers. In other innovations, overripe mangoes become mango hot sauce and kombucha. Old sweet potatoes are transformed into sweet potato miso and shoyu, sold in the precinct and served at the STREAT cafe. “There’s a beautiful simplicity in re-diverting food that doesn’t have to go into the ground,” says STREAT Deputy CEO Elise Bennetts, who works in the kitchen. “There are so many issues in our food systems and so much food insecurity. Farmers struggle to grow food, only to see it go back into the ground. We can’t feed the whole state but we can solve small problems in different ways, and pilot something that can potentially be scaled. There is huge potential here.” Launched in late 2022 by Good Cycles and STREAT with support from SENVIC Social Enterprise Network Victoria and funded through the Victorian Government’s Social Enterprise Strategy, the Purpose Precinct has a dual focus on the circular economy and providing on and off-site employment and training pathways for disadvantaged jobseekers facing multiple barriers to finding work.
