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.
