Frequent visitors to Mission Australia's website will know of our terrific new Melbourne initiative, Charcoal Lane.
Developed by Mission Australia with support from the Victorian Government and the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service, Charcoal Lane is a 'social enterprise' restaurant that combines a top-flight dining experience with a transitional labour market program designed to assist disadvantaged young people – mainly from Aboriginal backgrounds – develop professional skills for a career in hospitality.
Opened in July 09, Charcoal Lane has already been an outstanding success giving Melburnians and visitors to the city a taste of contemporary Aboriginal food and culture while providing crucial training and mentoring.
Recently The Age's restaurant critic, Nina Rousseau, visited Charcoal Lane and was suitably impressed labelling her experience "bloody good".
Read the review here and be sure to make a booking at Charcoal Lane the next time you're in Melbourne!
