Your group leader for this activity is Yvonne.

The aim of Chatty Café Australia (a registered ACNC Charity) is to help connect communities and increase social interactions by getting people chatting – either in their favourite local neighbourhood social venues or while travelling through other Aussie communities to meet the local folk.

Chatty Café is about building friendly social connections – through simple interactions that may brighten someone’s day. Everyone is welcome at our Chatty Café!

No booking required for your first session.

Attending the group is free, once you’ve signed up for Centre membership (which is $20 per calendar year).
