About us
Welcome to The Melbourne Anime Club!! We began in 2013 back in a TINY library room watching anime in only yellow and blue. Since then the club has grown immensely and we have upgraded to a state of the art theater space within the Docklands library. This group is highly inclusive and is 100% not for profit. Our long standing success is because of YOU, our members who have supported us all this time with feedback, suggestions for improvements and donations big or small.
THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO MAKE SOME GOOD FRIENDS! :D
People come to join our club from all over the world, whether they are local regular member, temporary residents, or tourist passing through. We value each and every person who comes to visit and we most certainly extend our welcome to you!!
In this group, you will find many different types of people who come together to watch anime, chat over dinner, and play a game or two after. You don't need to be extroverted but we do encourage you to talk to someone who you haven't gotten to know yet and you can talk about the anime screened prior to dinner and get to know other members very well over games! We expect everyone to be respectful and non-judgmental. If you run into any issues, speak privately with any of the friendly officers who will be glad to help out!
Whether you are already a hardcore anime fan or just a curious passer-by, come join us and be a part of the largest anime community in Melbourne CBD.
This club is completely not-for-profit and we welcome all members of the public.
We do however require that you are over 18 or be accompanied by an adult as we can not guarantee that all Anime will be suitable for all ages.
WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE ANIME CLUB! :) Join our wholesome community now!

### 📸 PHOTOS & MEMORIES
We love capturing the fun! By RSVPing, you're cool with candid photos being taken during the event. If we line up for a posed group photo and you’d rather sit it out, no worries at all—just step aside or let Bec know!
### 🌸 ACCESSIBILITY & CARERS
MAC is committed to being an inclusive, supportive space.
- Where a carer is required, they must attend and hold a valid ticket alongside the participant.
- Carers play an important role in facilitating a smooth day, as MAC organizers are not trained to provide medical or personal care assistance. We also value carers and see the benefits of when a carer actively supports a participant to bridge gaps, break ice and help to create friendships!! If you need a excellent carer who can help facilitate building friendships for you please reach out and we will happily refer you. (We do not get kick backs or commissions and it is simply our way of supporting members and inclusion!)

We’re all here to have a wholesome, fun time together! By RSVPing, you agree to uphold MAC’s core values of kindness, thoughtfulness, and respect.
- Safe Space Policy: Bullying, harassment, or bad behavior disguised as "jokes" isn't our vibe. Please call out disrespect or reach out to an organizer so we can keep MAC welcoming for everyone.
- Club Terms & Etiquette: To help our hosts run smooth events and protect the community atmosphere we've built, we ask everyone to follow our standard event guidelines. Please check out our full terms and policies on our Discord server!
