You can now find Well Fed at the Study Melbourne Hub!

Times are tough and food insecurity continues to be a very real issue in our student communities. Recent research from University of Tasmania shows levels at 53% within its student population. This is inline with the data we have seen across Australia, and indicates the situation has only worsened post-pandemic. In the City of Melbourne last year, 48% of all residents reported levels of food insecurity!

For a lot of international students the situation is even tougher! Tuition fees are higher and many of the same support systems that exist for domestic students just aren’t there. Plus adjusting to life in a new city and different country is really hard. Hats off to you!

That’s why in the second year of Well Fed we are thrilled to now be offering free food events to international students at the Study Melbourne Hub in Melbourne’s CBD. Study Melbourne exists to support you, the international student. If you haven’t been to the Hub yet, come check out some of their many services. If nothing else, come for the free Wi-Fi and coffee :)

This year Well Fed will be hosting 12 FREE lunches at the Hub, so come by with your friends (or make some new ones) and grab a free nutritious vegetarian lunch as well as a bag of groceries to take home. We can’t wait to meet you!

The first six lunches in 2025 will be on:

• Friday April 11 

• Friday May 2   

• Friday May 16 

• Friday May 30

• Friday July 18 

• Friday Aug 15 

Tickets are released one lunch at a time. Find more info at the link to register!
