Jamie's Ministry of Food is a practical cooking course in a fun and welcoming environment where participants learn to make delicious, nutritious, simple and affordable meals from scratch through hands on cooking. Participants attend at the same time each week and classes run for 90 minutes. With an emphasis on fresh produce, nutrition and life skills, participants will also learn lots of Jamie Oliver's hints, tips and shortcuts along with his incredible recipes. 

The course costs $30 per class for full fee, $15 per class for students and $10 per class for a valid concession card holder. The total cost of the course is the cost per class multiplied by the number of weeks in the course. You can pay online using a credit card or PayPal. If you want to pay cash for a course, you may do so in the centres.

Participants with a disability or special needs are encouraged to contact us to discuss their requirements prior to booking into a course. Participants who require the support or assistance of a carer must ensure that the carers' details are provided to Jamie's Ministry of Food through our booking form before commencing the course. The same carer must attend all classes for health and safety purposes. It is preferable for a person with special needs to arrive 15 minutes before the first class to ensure they have adequate time to discuss any issues that may arise for them during the course with their Food Trainer.

Due to this being a kitchen environment The Good Foundation conducts its own skills assessments. All of our assessments are tailored to the individual and based on what is considered necessary to ensure the participant can operate safely in the centre and get the most out of the class. Our program is quite fast paced and the Food Trainer is teaching up to 12 people, they do not have the ability to work one on one with participants and support additional needs. The carer may be required to help the individual keep pace with the rest of the class and get the most out of the experience.

Please keep in mind when entering participants into group bookings through the booking form that carers take the place of a participant so are required to part of the 12 places booked.

No, the course fee is already highly subsidised thanks to the support of our partners. A nominal rate has been selected to cover running costs and to ensure commitment. The course fee represents excellent value for money with all ingredients covered, a meal in the class and 1 portion to take home for friends or family. 

The Good Foundation is able to provide flyers to promote the program to your members. Please call Support Office on 03 9282 9100 to make a request for a flyer.

If you have a food allergy, please contact the centre when you book into a course. Our course is designed to introduce a broad range of cooking skills. We do not have the resources to adapt recipes to individual requirements. Given our course fee is already heavily subsidised we are unable to provide special ingredients to accommodate specific needs. 

Please mention any requirements to your Food Trainer when you receive your reminder call the week before class commencement or alternatively in your first class. In most cases you are more than welcome to bring a substitute ingredient. The Food Trainer will discuss the recipe before each class and talk about what you could bring in.

Our produce is not halal certified. If you require halal meat, you can bring it to class on the day for your personal use.
