About Our Business Networking Community:
We are a longstanding community of business professionals who meet weekly. Our doors are open to visitors and guests who want to expand their networks. While we own companies, our group isn’t a profit-driven entity. We thrive on the principles of the Business Network International (BNI) system, emphasizing values like “Givers Gain” and recognition.
Volunteer-Driven: All our members, including the President, Leadership Team, and Membership Committee, generously volunteer their time to make our group successful.
BNI System for Members: BNI is a globally successful system for business networking. It provides professional networking framework and global training opportunities.
Culture and Relationships: Beyond work, we focus on building deep relationships and having fun as we grow our businesses.
Visitors and Guests: When you visit, you become part of our business community for the day. Remarkably, 40% of business flows between our members and visitors.
Joining Process: If you’re interested in joining, submit an application. Our Membership Committee reviews it, and if successful, BNI Melbourne Central processes your membership fees, granting you access to the BNI global system.
Monthly Social Events: As members, we organize regular social events to foster connections.
Public Events: In addition to structured networking we run additional public networking events, industry webinars to encourage a general community of professionals to expand their network. We recognise that structured networking is great for our members, however can limit the outreach and opportunities between Small to Medium Enterprise (SME), larger corporations and Small to Medium Businesses (SMB). Unique talent can be found when small organisations provided product and services to lager organisations and visa versa.
Members / Event Hosts Background: Many of our members and those who create the events have a long extended history and ranges of experience including having positions in large public/private corporations, public organisations and roles that well exceed what you you find on paper. This makes the group unique in terms of their skills and opportunities. Your net-worth opportunities are often the size of your network and business often leads to being about people. So the more we can connect, the more we can grow our network, the more we help each other to achieve our goals.

With best intention for our business community, keep connected and keep smiling -- Paul Kingston (President 2023 - 2025)
