Australian Social Enterprises

Founded in 2021 by Mel Greblo, Humans of Purpose and our not-for-profit Academy, is wholeheartedly committed to business as a force for good. Pairing her 20+ career in social impact and strategic communication expertise, Mel wanted to build a female-led business that catalysed opportunities for thriving, especially for women who face complex barriers to employment. We’ve listened to dozens of small and medium sized businesses, heard about your growing pains, know the problems out there with legacy and bro-led agencies. Not content with the status quo, our vision is to lead what we believe is the future - regenerative and restorative work with brands and humans similarly on purpose. We’re here to flip the script. On business. On marketing - bringing an ethical, respectful, and transparent approach to make digital and social media marketing as beautiful as the work our clients and community do.

Practical support, guidance, resources and tools to market and grow your business. Agency 357 is a marketing agency unlike any other. We help businesses to grow by tailoring marketing advice around business goals rather than channels or technologies and supporting businesses to build capability rather than dependency. We offer a free AI diagnostic tool - compass.agency357.com.au to support businesses to take the first steps forward.

Commonsight is a systems-change social enterprise transforming the experience of change. We help institutions move beyond rigid, linear programs to create shifts that are humane, energising, and regenerative - and ready to adapt in a world defined by complexity and constant change. Working at the intersection of strategy, culture, and design, we build the adaptive capacity of public, private, and community organisations, helping them navigate transformation with clarity, confidence, and curiosity. Through consulting and learning programs, and applying our Change Experience (ChX) design methodology, we lead transformations grounded in the human experience of change, enabling organisations to build trust, agency, and adaptive strength. Our constitution locks in our social and environmental purpose, and our regenerative operating model transparently allocates revenue to sustain operations, subsidise regional access, and invest in research — proving that serious systems work can be joyful, creative, and deeply human by design.

The company’s Primary Social Purpose is to multiply the social and environmental impact benefit of funds invested by charities and social enterprises into their built environment and design projects, by providing professional strategy, circular economy and design services at pro-bono and/or discounted rates.

Local Impact empowers Melbourne's inner-west by fostering community-led initiatives. We partner, support and connect with local organisations to create sustainable social change, investing in education, employment and community development.

WYN Hub is a social enterprise and ethical business hub in Melbourne's West, building the ecosystem and moving the dial towards a place-based wellbeing economy. WYN Hub exists to transform the role business plays in our society, from an extractive, profit-at-all-costs model to one rooted in cultural expression, community care, and systems change. We believe that businesses can be agents of justice, inclusion, and sustainability when given the support and imagination to operate differently. We approach systems change through two mutually reinforcing lenses: 1. Consumer Power and 2. Business Capability. Over the next 2-5 years, we are focused on foundational shifts including: - Raised Awareness – People understand what social enterprise is and why values-aligned business matters. - Cultural Reframing – Business norms are challenged. We create space for diverse cultural ways of doing business, especially non-Western and community-based traditions. - Connection & Community – Entrepreneurs and values-driven consumers find each other, forming networks of shared learning and action. - Access to Resources – People can find tools, templates, coaching, and accessible business education tailored to purpose-driven goals. - Inspiration & Visibility – Stories of ethical, community-driven businesses are elevated and celebrated.
