Brisbane Common Ground (BCG) thanks 
BSB members who are making a difference in the lives of marginalised South Brisbane residents!


Recently the ABC ran a heartwarming story about how the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre and Riverside Hotel are providing employment opportunities for residents who live at BCG. 

Common Ground Queensland is a model of supportive housing with half the tenants having experienced chronic homelessness with the other half on low incomes (ie students, people with disabilities and part-timer workers).

For more information on the BCG Program or if you have opportunities for their work ready job seekers, contact Deb Jones on 0438 080 364 or email deb.jones@commongroundqld.org.au.
