A lot can change in twelve years, but Nonie’s consistency hasn’t.

Starting with twenty loaves in a tiny room with no slicer, her bread now sells across Australia.

she opened her bakery to our community of food business owners and openly shared what twelve years taught her.

Know someone who’d be brilliant at this? Send it to them - we’re hoping the internet will help do its thing here...

We’re hiring a Programs & Community Coordinator. You’d be the lifeblood of our training program: the person every entrepreneur, graduate and mentor calls first, and the one who keeps every workshop and cohort running.

Full time, based in our Strathfield South kitchen. Hybrid, but mostly on-site — the kitchen is where the work is.

And no cover letter. Just a CV and 60 seconds filmed on your phone, telling us why this role speaks to you. No script, no editing — we’re not assessing your video skills.

Applications are reviewed as they come in and we may close early, so don’t sit on it! Full details on the role and how to apply: link in bio 💚

Building a successful business in Australia’s food industry takes more than great food.

Without strong connections, community and an understanding of Australia’s business landscape, many aspiring entrepreneurs face barriers long before they serve their first customer.

We exist to help you break down those barriers.

Asma makes ma’amoul and other Palestinian specialities for markets and cafes around Sydney.

World Refugee Day celebrates the strength and courage of people forced to flee their home countries due to war, violence or persecution. We celebrate Asma’s story as she rebuilds as a new food business owner, and we also celebrate all other refugees in the FoodLab family and beyond who are building beautiful businesses.

Hello, we’re the new FoodLab.

On the one hand, we’ve changed. More graduates, more businesses launched, more people walking out of our kitchen as independent owners, employers, and community leaders in their own right.

On the other hand, we haven’t, and this new look reflects who we actually are. Proudly multicultural, handmade, full of life and movement and entrepreneurship. Built around one belief that will never change: talented cooks who get structure, tools, and a fair shot will thrive.

To the amazing team who understood exactly what we were reaching for and gave it shape. Thank you to brandkind — to the brandkind team, Irma, Amanda, Runjhun and Renita. Thank to so many in the community who worked with us and gave their input to shape this.

A new FoodLab era starts here.
