ACF South QLD Young Chefs Fundraising Dinner

ACFSQ welcomes members and guests to register in support of two South QLD Young Chefs as they take an important step in their careers, representing our region at the World Chefs Congress in Wales in 2026.

For these young chefs, it’s a chance to see how the industry operates at a global level, learn alongside peers from around the world, and bring those experiences back to our local foodservice community.

Evenings like this highlight how valuable early support and real-world exposure can be in shaping confident, capable professionals.

Your support on the night plays a direct role in helping make that journey possible.

What to expect on the night

• A 4-course dinner designed and cooked by South QLD Young Chefs

• Canapés on arrival

• Sponsored ingredients, generously supplied by industry supporters

• Auctions and raffles on the night, with all proceeds supporting the chefs’ journey

• A relaxed, intimate evening with just 50 seats available

This night is about encouragement, opportunity, and standing behind the next generation of chefs.
