Committed to the delivery of new opportunities

Our collaboration with business will allow us to facilitate and implement projects to assist us to achieve our social goals and create employment opportunities through memorandum of understandings, joint venture arrangements and partnership agreements.

Medius Ventures will aim to partner with businesses that are supportive, understanding and willing to employ people with mental health issues in an open labour market setting to assist in their recovery process.

Medius also aims to create businesses that will trade for social purposes to employ people with mental health issues to assist them in their recovery journey by gaining confidence, self determination and other skills needed to move forward to future employment opportunities.

Our strategic partnership project with IGA Spence the friendly grocer is our first major venture.

Vince and Kathy Torcasio the owners of the friendly grocer Spence via a partnership arrangement with Medius Ventures have made a commitment to providing job opportunities for people with a mental health issue and will fill 50% of their staff needs with people who have mental health issues.

They have committed to providing a supportive and friendly work environment and believe this partnership arrangement reflects their friendly grocer image in the community.

The Spence store offers a range of products and services including:
  • Groceries
  • Fruit and vegetables
  • Frozen food

  • Liquor

With recent expansion the store will now be offering a café, juice bar and delicatessen.
