About us
Port Melbourne Toastmasters is a club for people who are serious about developing their speaking, leadership, and personal presence.

We operate a structured development model that prioritises active participation, meaningful feedback, and strong member accountability.
We also run curated guest sessions throughout the year where prospective
members can experience the club and determine whether it is the right fit for them.

Seriously Funny: How to Add a Little Ha-Ha to Your Blah-Blah
Port Melbourne Community Room, Level 1/147 Liardet St, Port Melbourne (Entrance via the rooftop carpark at Coles), Port Melbourne, AUWe all love a good laugh — but when it comes to public speaking, humour can feel like walking a tightrope. Used well, it can elevate your speech, win over an audience, and make your message unforgettable. Used poorly… well, let’s just say silence isn’t always golden.
How do you actually be funny on purpose?
What gets a laugh? What falls flat? And how can you use humour in a way that feels natural, authentic, and effective — even if you’re not a “funny person”?
In this playful and practical session, you’ll learn how humour works, how to use it to connect with your audience, and how a well-placed laugh can make your message more powerful and persuasive. Because once you’ve made people laugh, they’re far more likely to listen.
Whether you're new to public speaking or just want to bring a little more sparkle to your delivery — this is a night you don’t want to miss!

'Sticky' Storytelling: Making Messages Memorable
Port Melbourne Community Room, Level 1/147 Liardet St, Port Melbourne (Entrance via the rooftop carpark at Coles), Port Melbourne, AUSticky stories are memorable, meaningful, and magnetic. They make people feel something — and that’s what makes them powerful.
You already tell stories — to friends, family, co-workers, and peers. You might need to inspire your team, persuade a colleague to support your ideas, or influence a client to say yes. But if your stories aren’t sticky, your message won’t land. It won’t be remembered. And it won’t drive action.
Mastering the art of ‘sticky’ storytelling is one of the most valuable communication skills in today’s world. And the good news? It’s a skill anyone can learn.
