Pathways to employment for people seeking asylum

ASRC Catering offers global food experiences, with heart.

We’re more than a catering company: we are a social enterprise of the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre that exists to create pathways to employment for people seeking asylum. When you choose ASRC Catering, you enable us to provide social and economic empowerment for people seeking asylum.

Our team

Our professional catering team comprises ASRC asylum seeker members led by an experienced group of mentor chefs. Through this model, we aim to provide pathways to further employment for people seeking asylum through education, training and hands-on work experience.

Our kitchen team are supported by an amazing operations and events team with years of corporate event management and hospitality experience to help our customers create a menu and event to suit their budget and needs.

Our food

The food we offer is made for all, with plenty of choice for vegans and people with dietary requirements.

Our extensive menu reflects the rich and diverse cultures of the people we support who are seeking safety and rebuilding their lives here in Australia. These are expressed in the modern interpretation of classic flavours from Africa, the Middle East, India, Pacific Islands and Asia.

Events and occasions

From large multi-day conferences to private parties, workshops, weddings, corporate launches and more… our catering can be customised for your event.

Journeys Café

A joint initiative between the ASRC and the University of Melbourne, Journeys Café is part of a social enterprise that creates training and employment pathways for refugees and people seeking asylum. Come visit us during the week for a bite and coffee.
