Canberra’s club industry plays a vital role in fostering social connection, supporting local employment, and driving economic growth. As not-for-profit organisations, clubs reinvest millions into the community each year, funding local sports, charities, and cultural initiatives. They provide welcoming spaces that reduce social isolation and bring people together, strengthening community ties. Economically, clubs generate thousands of jobs, support local suppliers, and contribute significantly to the hospitality, sporting and entertainment sectors.

This event will explore how economic shifts impact community clubs and what we can do to adapt and thrive. Engage with experts and be part of the conversation shaping our future.

Melanie Wilde, CEO and Founder of the Foundation for Social Health, will discuss tackling loneliness through scalable community initiatives.

Craig Simmons, an experienced Community Director, will provide economic insights into policy, risk management, and strategic planning in the club sector and the impacts on the local community and government.

More Guest Speakers announced soon! Join us to gain valuable perspectives on ensuring the long-term sustainability of Canberra’s clubs.
