About Grounded
Grounded is a social enterprise operated by the Tasmanian University Student Association (TUSA). The café aims to improve access to affordable food and beverages for students while providing a way for the broader community to give back.
Why It Matters
More than half of UTAS students experience food insecurity, and many regularly skip meals due to financial pressures. Grounded helps address this challenge by creating a sustainable, community-focused model that supports student wellbeing.
Come along, enjoy great food and coffee, and be part of a project that helps ensure no student has to choose between studying and eating. When you purchase from Grounded, you’re helping fill someone else’s cup too.
