The Good Stuff - Melbourne's Social Enterprise & Circular Economy Experience

Discover a different side of Melbourne’s iconic Queen Victoria Market - where business is being used to do good for people and planet.

Join us at the Purpose Precinct, Australia’s first dedicated social enterprise marketplace, and meet some of the changemakers rethinking the way we shop, work and tackle social and environmental challenges.

On this guided experience, you’ll discover the First Nations history of the site, hear the stories behind some of Victoria’s most innovative social enterprises and explore products from more than 80 purpose-led businesses.

You'll go behind the scenes of the Market’s Circular Economy Precinct to discover how we’re experimenting with new ways to tackle waste — from rescuing surplus food to turning waste materials into new products.

Along the way you’ll:

• Discover what a social enterprise actually is - and why Victoria has one of the world’s most exciting social enterprise communities
• Meet the ideas, products and people creating positive change
• Explore how one of Melbourne’s oldest markets is becoming a testing ground for circular innovation
• See examples of waste being transformed into something useful again
• Take home a circular product created right here at the Market

Grab a coffee from STREAT’s social enterprise café before we begin, then stay on afterwards to eat, shop and explore Queen Victoria Market at your own pace.
