Residential Positions 2007
Urban Seed’s Credo Café, an open lunch space for many of Melbourne’s marginalized, hosts 50 to 90 guests each day. The residential staff significantly contribute to the running and sense of community that exists in and around Credo Café. They also gain exposure to public advocacy, street work, hospitality and community building aspects of our work. At Central House, the back of Collins St. Baptist Church, the residential Community lives in a unique context, located between the city's most extreme contrasts of wealth and poverty. Members of the community commit to at least 3 days a week to the work of Urban Seed, for which they receive accommodation but are not paid. There is an annual intake of new residents through a formal orientation program. Residents must be 21 years or over and married couples are most welcome.

Licensing Review for Pokies
September 07, 2006
The Victorian Government’s Licensing Review for Pokies has taken place over the last month. Urban Seed made a submission to this review with our focus being on the ownership of machines. We know that Pokies are a harmful product and it is difficult to implement harm reduction measures if you are also trying to maximise profit. We also got to talk to the panel about our submission.
