We’re starting to line up a few industry visits for our SQW Hospitality trainees and participants over the next month or so.

Nothing over the top - just short, behind-the-scenes looks at how different venues operate and a chance to ask a few questions.

A lot of the places we connect with come from recommendations, so if there’s somewhere local you think would be great for this, we'd love to hear from you.

We’re always open to connecting with local businesses who are keen to be part of it - short visits, small groups, and a really positive experience all round.

Reach out by tagging them below, sharing a comment, sending us a message, or contacting Amelia on 0491 697 976.

Congratulations to our newest graduates! 🎓

A big congratulations to the latest group who have successfully completed our 24-week Hospitality Traineeship, delivered through the Skilling Queenslanders for Work (SQW) initiative, funded by the Department of Trade, Employment and Training (DTET).

We’re incredibly proud of the dedication, growth and resilience shown by every trainee throughout the program. Reaching graduation after six months of learning, practical training and personal development is a fantastic achievement.

Many people often ask us to share more about the work happening across our programs. One of our goals for 2026 is to do exactly that — giving more insight into the different streams of support we provide and celebrating the journeys of the people involved.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make the graduation such a special event — from staff and supporters to our wider community and stakeholders.

More photos and highlights to come soon! 📸

UPDATE: Following the latest advice from the Bureau of Meteorology, our places of refuge are now closed. The threat of heavy rainfall has passed.

With heavy rainfall on the way, our City of Moreton Bay libraries are now open as Places of Refuge.

Over the coming days, some parts of Moreton Bay may experience flash flooding. If you live in a low‑lying or flood‑prone area, be ready to leave early and stay with friends or family.

Our Places of Refuge give you a safe, supportive space to charge your devices, rest somewhere comfortable, and chat with volunteers who can help with information and resources.
