Commonground
An Experience in Living and Working for Social Change

What is Commonground?
Commonground Co-operative is an Australian based social change organisation
commited to building a more egalitarian, non-patriarchal and environmentally
sustainable world. We are guided by the principles of feminism, anarchy, and
nonviolence. 

Our main area of work is in supporting and resourcing community,
environmental and social change groups to operate more effectively. We live
under one roof, sharing our money, our resources and the raising of our four
children.

Commonground is situated 95 km north of Melbourne and is accessible by public
transport. We have an attractive 133 acre property which we are developing
using permaculture techniques. We are also in the process of  building the
second stage of the Resource centre which will provide workshop space and
accommodation for groups.

We are now at a stage of expansion and  are looking for people to come and
live and work with us in the short or longer term. Visits of two weeks to one
year are negotiable. We are also looking for people who are interested in
becoming residential members.

A Unique Experience
Commonground offers an exciting and challenging opportunity to live and work
collectively in a friendly environment. A visit to Commonground will help you
develop practical skills including building and gardening and give you an
insight into Australia's social change movement.

In return for a reasonable work commitment, we will provide you with
excellent food (mainly vegetarian), accomodation and stimulating discussions
around the table, the fire or under the stars!
