Well Fed at Study Melbourne

Hello international students and welcome to Well Fed at Study Melbourne!

Just Food Collective's Well Fed: A Student Food Project is joining up with Study Melbourne in 2025 to provide free food and community connection to international students! Come join us for a FREE nourishing meal, with hot native tea, something sweet and a bag of groceries to take home.

What food will be at Well Fed @ Study Melbourne?
We like to switch up our menus every week (Patrick and Savannah - the project coordinators - are chefs after all!) and we like to focus on food that is nourishing, vegetable forward, diverse and inclusive to dietary restrictions where possible. Most of the time the meal will be a nourishing salad with different grains and vegetables. Check out our recipe page to see some recipes we've made in the past. We employ student interns and have amazing volunteers working with us too to help prepare your food. Well Fed is like coming to a free cafe, hanging out with your friends and making new ones, and importantly eating great food! We will also have grocery items like fresh fruit and veg and pantry staples. 

What is Well Fed: A Student Food Project?

Well Fed is a big project funded by the City of Melbourne, VicHealth and now Study Melbourne. Well Fed aims to support students with a place to connect, eat well and improve their food security through an ongoing series of food activities, advocacy, and future planning.

The Well Fed model has four distinct components and key interventions:

1. We supply students with free food that's joyful, nourishing and delicious 
2. We hire student interns and induct volunteers to create a network of friends who can gain work experience 
3. We raise awareness of student food security through localised university campaigns and state-wide advocacy  
4. We create free programs and educational tools for students to learn cooking, eating and growing skills 

When are the Well Fed at Study Melbourne meals?

The first six dates are: April 11, May 2, May 16, May 30, July 18 and August 15.

This event is free but registration is essential. Registrations open one week at a time. 

Plus, to limit food waste and so other students don't miss out, please cancel your ticket 24 hours prior if you are unable to come!

So come eat with us! Give us a follow on our Instagram, or reach out to us at hello@justfood.org.au if you want to volunteer or need more information. 


Note, this event is only for international students.
