Australian Social Enterprises

ReLove helps people rebuild their lives after crisis by providing everything they need to create a safe, comfortable home. We support women and children escaping domestic violence, people experiencing homelessness and individuals transitioning out of incarceration. Over 40% of those we assist are First Nations people. Caseworker referred clients are welcomed to the ReLove Free Store which is stocked with high-quality donated and excess furniture and homewares from corporates, hotels and the community. There, they are able to choose everything they need to start again. Our team then delivers and fully sets up each home, ensuring it is functional, welcoming and ready to live in from day one, so individuals and families can begin rebuilding with a sense of safety, stability and belonging. ReLove restores dignity, comfort and a sense of choice at a critical moment of transition.

ReNewy Living is an Australian environmental enterprise that celebrates local sustainability. We're for people who care deeply about a healthier planet but are tired of feeling like they're doing it alone. We bridge the gap between individual effort and collective impact, bringing you into a joyful community of sustainability that prioritises reducing consumption, supporting local action, and restoring our environment together. We do this through positive storytelling, community networking, and creative workshops. We provide the connections and resources you need to turn your environmental worry into local, tangible action.

We're a small social enterprise based in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney. Run by a three avid readers and our dog Echo (our quality control expert), with the vital support of a small group of supporters, we've managed to combine our love of reading with our passion for supporting & advocating for refugees. We do this through fundraising and by donating a portion of our profit to charities supporting refugees & asylum seekers, including the Blue Mountains Refugee Support Group, Refugee Advice & Casework Service and Rural Australians for Refugees. We're also strong proponents of a circular economy, as we sell mostly secondhand books that have been donated to us, as well as a selection of vintage clothing and items, thereby saving tonnes of books and clothing from waste disposal every year. We clean, sort and price each secondhand book to encourage people to reread them, often before having those same books donated back to us to go through the same process again!

Our objective is to provide assistance to any person in need regardless of creed, ethnic or social background, health, gender or political opinion. We achieve this through offering 'a hand up not a hand-out.'

Reduce inequality, promote social inclusion and financial security through employment and training to migrant and refugee women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds in our sustainable vegetarian hospitality cafes, catering and an urban farm that supplies fresh greens to the menu items.

Superyard is a social enterprise committed to fostering sustainability and empowering communities through the circular economy. Our goal is to create a thriving ecosystem where businesses grow responsibly, and communities benefit from sustainable construction practices.

Our mission is to help enable local communities to have a positive environmental impact through small scale environmental action; and to champion the circular economy through resource recovery, repair, and reuse.

Clean underwear is a dignity issue. Charities can't accept second-hand undies; they have to buy them. We fixed that. Underwear for Humanity is a B Corp Certified Social Enterprise using sustainable underwear and socks to fund real, measurable change. Our buy-one-give-one model has delivered over 60,000 pairs to people experiencing homelessness and domestic violence. We've diverted over 63,000 items from landfill through Australia's first underwear recycling scheme. We pay 50c per item sold to Aboriginal community projects. Our supply chain pays workers 60% above the living wage. Founded by Kelly Barrett, a 25-year veteran of underwear design and development, UH exists to prove that integrity can be easy, and that the brands people choose every day can quietly change the world. We are ready to scale and actively seeking partners who believe the same thing.

WiSE Recycling Co. is a community recycling service that collects hard-to-recycle waste from households, schools, and local businesses; cleaning, sorting, and transforming it into meaningful products, while rewarding customers with exclusive offers from local brands and keeping waste out of landfill for good.
