Nundah Community Enterprises Cooperative (NCEC) was formed out of the aspirations of people with disabilities who desperately wanted to work but were long term unemployed.
In 1998 members and their supporters embarked on a mutual approach to creating employment because the existing employment system had not worked.Slide20
Beginnings
NCEC began
humbly as a ‘jobs club’ with the help of volunteers, a borrowed mower and a supportive local community.Slide21
Today N.C.E.C. is a workers cooperative and pioneering community enterprise, creating meaningful employment opportunities for more than 20 members with a disability.Slide22
N.C.E.C. has three businesses:
1) The Parks and Mowing Crew.
2) Espresso Train Café and Catering.
3) Consultancy & TrainingSlide23
The Parks Crew
Is managed by a fulltime gardener and provides supportive part time work to 10 NCEC membersSlide24

business productivity’.

In People’s Words
“
The job has helped me recover... the best thing about it, is getting me out of bed and doing something different each day
” (John).“Sometimes I was so short on cash I had to go to cash converters to sell DVD’s. It was a pretty vicious cycle – I didn’t like it. I was pretty glad when this came up. Beforehand I used to rely on my parents a lot. In the last four or five years I haven’t borrowed a single cent: I’ve been pretty self-sufficient. That’s important to me
” (Craig).“ It’s Our Co-op!” (Michael)
