September Member Dinner - Naarm

This isn’t your average dinner. It’s where ambition meets heart. A space where brown women building big dreams come together to break bread, build bonds, and open doors for one another. Whether you're a long time Australian South Asian Centre (ASAC) member or just joined and craving connection - you’ll find your people here.

Expect  
✨ Soulful convos 
🤝 Real talk & networking with fellow South Asian powerhouses
🍽️ A delicious shared meal (obviously) - your ticket price includes appetizers and a main which we'll generally order sharing style.
📍 A25
🎟️ This event is primarily for ASAC Members

Hosted by Rumali Kularatne

Rumi joined ASAC in 2023 with a mission to make new friends and celebrate the brilliance of South Asian. Her 9-to-5 is with FW, as a Senior Director for Learning and Engagement (to connect about work things! Find her on LinkedIn), but for life beyond work she’s @rumithisara on Instagram.

She is here to help break the ice and (selfishly) make new friends! Rumi considers Grey’s Anatomy to be a top influence on her identity development and truly doesn't understand the appreciation people show for camping. She loves to cook up a feast, enjoys painting, and is an avid audiobook listener, with Romantasy being her ultimate guilty pleasure.

Please note, refunds are only available up to 48hrs prior to the event.

We may have a photographer and videographer with us on the night, capturing the gathering to share across our social media. By registering you consent to us using the photos and / or videos we capture across our social media, newsletter and/or other digital channels.


FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Who are the dinners for?
Our member dinners are a women-only space, created for and by our women's community. They are designed as an intimate, welcoming environment for our members to connect, share and celebrate together.

Do you have to be a member to attend?
The majority of places are reserved for our members. However, we do have a small number of non-member tickets available for each dinner, so non-members are welcome to purchase one of those spots.

How do I become a member?
We'd love to have you - ASAC membership is open to purpose driven South Asian women and women of colour who are founders, creatives and professionals. Membership gives you access to our dinners, events, and a growing network of incredible women as well as many other perks. You can join and read about those here.
