Cookery Nook has long been a part of Mercy Community, having supported people with a disability since the 1970’s.

Over the decades its purpose remained the same – to provide people with a disability employment opportunities in a safe, respectful, supported environment where they can flourish through social connections and purpose.

More recently, with the introduction of the NDIS across Queensland’s south east, the Cookery Nook became a NDIS registered Australian Disability Enterprise. This marked a new chapter for the Cookery Nook adding a commercial intent to the business, to become Brisbane’s best caterer, as well as more focussed capacity building for the team.

The Cookery Nook provides our staff with meaningful employment, training them to develop their kitchen skills, build their capacity within a commercial work environment, and supporting them to achieve more towards their goals.

Through the confidence they gain working here we continually see a few members of the team looking forward to what’s next for them in their hospitality careers.

All profits from the Cookery Nook’s catering services directly support Mercy Community’s Disability Services.

To support this social enterprise to keep on positively changing the lives of the people we support, please contact us for your next catering order.
