All Things Equal is a fresh take on typical hospitality in Melbourne. We are a not-for-profit social enterprise providing purposeful training and award-wage paid employment for people with disability.

We believe all people should be able to find a self-sustaining purpose in life, allowing everyone to contribute to society in a meaningful way.

We exist to bridge the gap between people with disability and the wider community. Join us on our mission to prove to society that people with disability are ready, willing and absolutely capable of working.

At All Things Equal, we celebrate people just as they are; this is the very foundation of our vision.

Always a terrific experience - warm welcome, great service and delicious food, rounded off with a quality Melbourne coffee. I had the fish cakes and my friend had the latkes with silver beet - Yuuumm.

Our group really enjoyed both the food and atmosphere. A staff member was particularly helpful in adding unexpected places to our table. He was pleasant and efficient in taking our orders as well.
