About

Hamlet is a registered charity that delivers targeted training and work readiness skills to tackle the barriers that prevent disadvantaged Tasmanians from participating in work and community life.

We strive to make as much of our food as possible on site using fresh produce grown right here in Tassie. We are proud to make our own bread, butter, cheese, preserves, and most of our charcuterie in house.

Our menu is designed to be shared.

Every purchase you make with Hamlet creates life changing opportunities and powerful impact in our community.

Hamlet Catering Co. is proudly supported by the Tasmanian Community Fund.

Since we opened our doors in 2016, over 700 Tasmanians have participated in a collective 38,000+ hours of work experience and achieved amazing things.

  • 64% gained references for their resume
  • 55% feel more independent
  • 27% improved their English language skills

Creating Positive Change

Join the Hamlet Community

Hamlet is a registered charity and social enterprise that delivers targeted training and work readiness skills to underrepresented Tasmanians.

We pay respect to the traditional and original owners of the land on which we live, work, provide training, share food, and enjoy coffee.
We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded, and we exist on stolen land that rightfully belongs to the muwinina people.
At Hamlet, we strive to build connections and strengthen community with the participants we train, the people who grow and share our food, and the land on which we work and live.
