Native Space recently visited AusChin Group at its Sunshine factory to learn more about the work being delivered by this inspiring social enterprise.

AusChin Group is a family-owned, certified social enterprise founded by Jacob Thang, a former refugee from Myanmar and a member of the Chin community.

The Group is dedicated to excellence in landscape and ground maintenance services, while empowering the Myanmar refugee community in Victoria.

AusChin Group is subcontracted to Native Space, undertaking general landscape maintenance across several of its sites in Geelong and Melbourne’s western suburbs.

The visit included a presentation from the AusChin team, followed by a valuable discussion with Jacob about how Native Space can continue to support one another and build on their relationship.

The team was also treated to an amazing traditional Burmese lunch, which was a memorable part of the day.

“We’re proud to work with a business that combines quality landscaping services with meaningful opportunities for people from refugee backgrounds and positive outcomes for the wider community,” said Maintenance Manager Matthew.

“We look forward to continuing our partnership.”
