Explore Melbourne is the largest meetup group in Australia. We have eight simple rules in place to protect our community and for everyone to have a positive experience.

❌ Not a dating group! – We’re here to make friends, not find soulmates. No flirty business, please!

No phone numbers, please! – Feel free to swap social media if both parties are cool with it, but let’s keep our digits private. Please don’t add people to WhatsApp or other groups.

Our events are only open to people aged 18 and older.

Please do not advertise other events or groups.

Don’t be a social octopus! – Give people space to chat with others. Please don't be clingy.

We don't allow carpooling due to safety incidents/our public liability insurance not covering motor related accidents.

No sales pitches! – No selling, no MLMs, no pyramid schemes, no “life-changing mentorship” offers—let’s keep things scam-free.

Cameras welcome, but… – please refrain from taking photos of our members for privacy reasons.

By joining this event, you’re giving us a virtual pinky promise that you’ll follow the rules. Break them, and—poof!—you’re out for good. No second chances, no do-overs. Let’s keep it fun, friendly, and drama-free!
