Fresh National Networking
Fresh National Hubs meet virtually and is the perfect way to network if you are time-poor, and prefer a national reach to referral networkers across Australia. With access to like-minded business people, Fresh National is the perfect networking package to boost your business growth.
Fresh National offers the perfect opportunity to stay connected and expand your business audience without being restricted by location.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN A FRESH NATIONAL MEETING
When you get into the virtual meeting, you’ll be welcomed and invited into some breakout rooms to mix and mingle with a small group of members and other guests.
The formal part of the meeting follows one of several set agendas and always includes time for you to present your business with a short pitch, an education segment and a main presentation where you’ll learn more about a member’s business.
WHAT FRESH NATIONAL HUB CAN I JOIN?
Fresh National consists of state hubs and area hubs. There are three state hubs for Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.
Areas are based on an area within each city. Although we hold our meetings virtually, having area hubs gives us the opportunity to socialise face to face, and helps foster the strong relationships that are the foundation of Fresh.
If an area hub has fewer than 10 members, it meets as part of the state hub. As soon as it reaches 10 members, it becomes independent and holds its own meetings.
The hub you join will depend on the location of your business.
To make it simple, we’ve aligned the area hubs with Local Government Areas (LGA).

Hub Structure
Each hub has a leadership team, with five of the members taking on key roles to help ensure that meetings run super-smoothly and that members and guests get the very best from the Fresh experience. It’s not all down to the leaders though – every member of the network hub plays their part in its success.
Facilitator
The overall leader of the hub, driving the energy of the team. The facilitator is responsible for auditioning new members, keeping the hub on track to meet its goals and leads the closing portion of every meeting.
Co-Facilitator
Leads the first half of the meeting, setting the tone for the morning. Behind the scenes, the co-facilitator collects the metrics that show us how we’re building stronger connections
Education Coordinator
Every meeting has a member presentation, and some include networking education. The person in this role plans the schedule and introduces the speakers.
Online host
Giving guests a warm welcome is an important part of the Fresh experience. The online host is the first contact for guests, and ensures they are introduced to others in the meeting. In addition to the formal leadership roles
Hub promoter
Fresh thrives on attracting new people. The promoter publicises hub meetings, schedules speakers and promotes Fresh webinars to encourage more people to come along.
Members
Members are the very heart of every network hub. Our members bring their energy and commitment to every meeting, share their expertise, support each other and welcome guests.
