A COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS NETWORK IN TASMANIA

CLICK HERE TO VISIT
The Community Exchange Network Tasmania (CENTs) is a project initiative of the North West Environment Centre. We are a volunteer run community exchange network operating throughout Tasmania where people trade their goods, services and skills with one another without money. CENTs also operates in the Gift Economy where people give things away to others or they can also swap, barter, loan, hire and share with others.

Community exchanges create a mutually supportive network of people helping each other. You can help other people or they can help you in lots of different ways – such as gardening, home help, baby sitting, office work, providing transport or by teaching someone a new skill. You can buy goods from others in the community to help you meet your day to day needs. You can access services that you may not be able to afford if you had to pay money for it.

After registering for an account each user receives an account number and a password. This gives them access to their account. The Community Exchange System works like an on-line banking service. Participants can view their current balance and can also keep track of the trading position of others so there is full transparency.
