Evidence snapshot for Melbourne

Melbourne is home to Ask Izzy, a free digital service-finder for people experiencing homelessness that has logged over 10 million searches and serves 10,000+ users monthly since its January 2016 launch. The city hosts Melbourne Connect, Australia's largest university-anchored innovation precinct, which has supported 240+ startups that raised over A$250 million in funding, generated over A$250 million in revenue, and created over 1,500 jobs since opening in 2021. Study Melbourne's Inclusion Program has funded 178 student-wellbeing and employability projects reaching 238,000+ international students since 2015, within a wider international-education sector generating AU$15.9 billion and supporting 64,000 jobs in 2024. The evidence demonstrates Melbourne's strengths in social support, innovation infrastructure, and international education, though it does not provide comprehensive city-wide impact metrics.
