To celebrate our program kickoff, we are inviting your mentors, the Innovation community and our Mill House friends to come meet you!

GRIST 2021 is a brand-new format for accelerating our Ventures, and we are introducing an accelerated learning journey that mobilises communities in the relentless pursuit of new opportunities to create and sustain social value. Hear from our 2021 cohort, as they seek to address wicked problems like poverty, domestic and family violence, racism, and the chronic exclusion of some populations from mainstream economic participation and training.

GRIST is the Mill House flagship Social Enterprise Accelerator program, and every year we take a select few changemakers through GRIST to accelerate their impact.

For our mentors and friends of Mill House, we welcome you to meet our 2021 cohort! Come have a drink with us, hear about Day One reflections and get to know your mentees and the ventures we are accelerating before we jump into the nitty-gritty of Social Innovation and testing, iterating and validating their MVP!

Covid safety for face-to-face events:

Visiting the Mill House Ventures

The Mill House Ventures is located in a central area of the University called “The Hub” below the Refectory and Library.

We encourage public transport or rideshare for our events based at the University of Canberra as most of the parking is e-permit only. However, you can access the casual, paid parking using the Haydon Drive or College Street entries to the University.

Please leave yourself at least 10-15 minutes to find a park and locate our offices, especially during term time. Here is a helpful map to help you navigate the campus:
