Our Next Event
🌿 BrisLETS April Trading Day
Sunday 19 April • 1pm – 4pm Hosted at Nundah Library Primrose Ln, Nundah QLD 4012 As we move into Autumn, this month’s trading day is a chance to share what you have and prepare for the season ahead. Have clothes you no longer need? Seedlings or cuttings ready to pass...
This is how BrisLETS works!
BrisLETS has been running since 1988 — 38 years of neighbours helping neighbours without needing cash.
Instead of dollars, members trade using Units. You offer something you can do or share, earn Units, and spend them on what others offer. It doesn’t have to be a direct swap — you might mow someone’s lawn on Tuesday and get a massage on Friday from a completely different member. The community balances itself out.
Trading happens through the Community Exchange System (CES) at community-exchange.org, where you can log your trades, list your offers and wants, and see what others have available.
What do people trade?
All kinds of things — gardening, tutoring, baked goods, home repairs, lifts, sewing, music lessons, fresh produce, childcare, pet care. If you can do it or make it, someone probably needs it.
Monthly trading days bring the whole community together at venues around Brisbane. Local groups (called Local Action Groups) also meet closer to home.
Joining is simple. A one-off $20 fee, one offer listed, and you’re in. New members are welcome to come along to a trading day first to see how it all works.

Our June BrisLETS Trading Day was held in the vibrant, nourishing surrounds of Dianne’s garden in Manly West—and what a beautiful day it was! From the moment we arrived, her space welcomed us with open arms. The lush greenery, the thoughtful layout, and the genuine...
💥 What If Money Wasn’t the Problem?
And what if the solution was already in your neighbourhood? We live in a time of rising prices, overwork, burnout — and yet, so many people still have unused skills, extra time, or things they no longer need. What’s missing? A way to trade that doesn’t cost us more of...
BrisLETS May Trading Day Wrap-Up — Community, Connection, and Computers!
We had a beautiful gathering at the Redcliffe Library on Sunday, 18th May, for our BrisLETS Trading Day, proudly supported by Brisbane North Local Action Group. One of the highlights was meeting our newest member and his friends who are interested in computers!...
