Food Assistance
QUT Guild Food Bank is available to all QUT students to help you get through till your next payday. Please note that we have limited stock and this service is meant to support students in need who are facing financial hardship and difficult circumstances.
A booking is not required as long as you come during opening hours. Please note we can only serve a maximum of 50 students per day.
The Food Bank is located at:

Food Bank is a temporary assistance measure to support as many students as possible. Students are limited to one visit per fortnight and 10 items per visit. For those needing regular assistance, please contact foodbank@qutguild.com and we will be able to refer you to other welfare services.
