If there was ever a time to give a tip, it’s now!
TipJar came about with a pretty simple mission, to support the next generation of Australia’s hospitality industry. This social enterprise movement focuses on upskilling, training and mentoring the future crew of the industry.
Any tip, no matter how big or small, will help vulnerable people become our hospitality gurus.
Collaboration is how we accomplish change. In both metropolitan and regional areas of across Australia, we are proud to partner with social enterprises, directly funding the next generation of chefs, kitchen hands and other vital venue staff trained and ready. While also providing vulnerable people the tools to be job-ready and lift themselves out of the cycles of poverty and homelessness.
TipJar grants help people access program that provide support like:
We’re a fund dedicated to helping support the future generation of hospitality workers here in Australia. Funded by Worksmith and StreetSmart Australia, we raise funds and distribute them across social enterprises all around the country. Our goal is to have the dual impact of providing job-training to vulnerable people to help end the cycles of poverty and homelessness, as well as ensuring a strong future workforce for our hospitality industry.
So, come on Australia, lend a hand and help save the hospitality industry and the individuals who contribute so greatly to it.

Worksmith connects and supports the food, beverage and hospitality industries through resources, buying power and opportunities.
Worksmith founded Tip Jar Fund during the height of COVID-19 in 2020 to support those who needed it most – especially those in the hospitality sector that no longer had work and were not directly supported by government resources.
Worksmith continues to be a source of connection for the hospitality industry and will continue to reinforce their mandate to grow, hospitality, together.
