Worthy Cause

Worthy Cause was founded in 2021 by Rick Cohen. After working through most of a degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from ANU, Rick took to Europe to learn to cook in his family's restaurant and ancestral home,Casa Brusadain Italy's North-East. Since then Rick has completed a Degree in Business and Marketing while chefing at some of Melbourne's premiere restaurants. After gaining experience in and out of the kitchen, and working tirelessly on his own mental health, Rick was able to realise his long-term goal, a marriage of his great passions, to assist those who deserve it and cooking.

The importance of helping vulnerable people has come from his own experiences suffering from Sexual Assault, PTSD and Depression from an early age. Spending prolonged periods of time in psychiatric hospitals and mental health programs in Canberra and Melbourne has offered Rick insights and experiences into the lives and struggles of vulnerable people from all walks of life. Rick and Worthy Cause are determined to contribute to our community to help those in need of benevolent relief.
