Young Professionals Network
The Australia-UK Chamber of Commerce launched its Young Professionals Network in November 2023 to foster an inclusive community for individuals at all stages of their career.
Since then, we’ve welcomed over 150 attendees at each of our Young Professionals Receptions. Backed by our anchor sponsor, National Australia Bank, we’re proud to bring together dynamic individuals from a wide range of backgrounds, industries, and experiences.
Whether you’re new to London and job-hunting, or well into your career, our community is here to support your growth, help you make meaningful connections, and lets you hear from some great speakers and interesting people along the way.
Our events are generally popular with people aged between 20 to 35, but we welcome anyone who’s interested in joining.
About the Network
Our Young Professionals Receptions are held every three months, from 6pm – 8pm.
Our events include 30 minutes of formalities, where you will have the opportunity to hear from the Australian High Commissioner to the UK, as well as from inspiring guest speakers, followed by time dedicated to networking. Expect delicious canapés, Australian wine and beer, and a pack of Tim Tams to take home.
We host our events in the stunning Exhibition Hall of Australia House - famously known as Gringotts Bank from the Harry Potter films. If you haven’t visited yet, it’s definitely a must-see.

It’s worth checking with your employer whether Young Professional Membership (£100 + VAT) can be expensed by your company for your professional development.
