About SecondBite

SecondBite is a leading Australian food rescue organisation dedicated to reducing food waste and tackling food insecurity. Through the SecondBite organisation which includes both SecondBite and FareShare, we work collaboratively to provide nutritious food and meals to Australians in need.

SecondBite is committed to positive change through redirecting surplus food, otherwise destined for landfill, to agencies and people facing food insecurity in a safe and timely manner.
As part of the SecondBite organisation, FareShare operates Australia’s largest non-profit kitchens in Melbourne and Brisbane, where chefs, cooks and volunteers transform this rescued and donated food, as well as produce grown on their own kitchen gardens, into millions of delicious, nutritious meals each year for people experiencing need.

We are an equal chance employer and embrace diversity in the workplace.
