Melbourne Eastern Region Local Exchange Trading System (LETS)

Established in 1991, Melbourne Eastern Region LETS (MERLETS) is a thriving not for profit community organisation that provides the means for members to exchange services, skills and goods for tokens, not money. The objectives are to facilitate trading without the use of conventional currency and strengthen the connections we have with our members in the local community.

Membership allows you to exchange services, skills and goods with other members for tokens, not money, while building connections in our local community.

Here’s an example:

You may need some gardening done, pets minded while you are away, or want to declutter that spare room.  You would refer to your MERLETS Directory to find someone available to do the work and contact them to arrange the trade.  It’s that easy… In return, you offer your services to any LETS member at another time.

Some of the services offered include:

Gardening & Working Bees, Pet care, Lawn mowing, Dog Walking,  Child Care, Transport, Ironing, Web site design and advice, Emergency Angels, Health and wellbeing services, Spring cleaning, Computer Advice, Wordprocessing/editing, Cooking/Catering, Sewing/mending, Home grown produce, Designing indoor & outdoor spaces.
