Doncaster

Doncaster is a great place to live and work. It combines leafy, green open spaces with low density suburban housing, all just 18km from Melbourne’s CBD. It’s home to young professionals, families and retirees from a broad range of cultural backgrounds, with a population of over 25,000, up 2.8% per year since 2016.

The largest sources of work are health and social care (employing 14.3% of Doncaster’s population), professional, scientific and technical (11.3%) and, unsurprisingly, retail (11.1%) – Westfield Doncaster is one of the top ten biggest shopping centres in Victoria, and neighbouring suburb Ringwood hosts the third largest, Eastland.

So Doncaster is the natural home for a Fresh Networking hub. Fresh Networking helps businesses to grow by connecting with like-minded owners and professionals. We have over 280 members and 9500 attendees to Fresh Networking every year.

The Fresh approach to networking is ‘More Connections with Less Blah’ – it’s for people who understand the value of networking, but don’t want inflexible rules and targets. If you’re generous with your time, keen to share your expertise and learn from others, and above all want to make strong connections in Doncaster and beyond, then Fresh is for you. We believe that people who know, like and trust each other naturally do business together – so we focus first and foremost on relationships.
