Melbourne Inner South
Fresh National Melbourne Inner South is for business owners and professionals who live and work in the City of Port Phillip. This beautiful city, bordering the sparkling waters of Port Phillip Bay stretches from the port of Melbourne, to the sandy beaches of St Kilda and Elwood. It is beach, meets city, meets industry. The Inner South is home to 116,000 people and 22,000 businesses. It has a predominantly working age demographic, with a lower than average number of people under 18 and over 60.
A massive 25% of the working population are in the scientific, professional and technical industries, with another 10% employed in construction.
It’s a beautiful and exciting place to live, and the perfect home for a Fresh National hub.

The Inner South hub meet online, every fortnight. We have a number of different meeting agendas, to keep things fresh and vibrant – and they’re all designed to help you connect with like-minded people to help grow each other’s businesses. We have time to interact in small groups to speed up getting to know each other. We know from experience that when people have the chance to get to know, like and trust each other, business referrals flow.

How does this online hub work?
When you join Fresh National Inner South, you’ll be the only member in your business category.
Melbourne Inner South is an area hub, affiliated with the state hub for Victoria. If an area hub has fewer than 10 members, it will take part in a combined meeting with the state hub. You may find that in the state hub meeting, you’re not the only bookkeeper/graphic designer/mortgage broker in the room.
The faster the Melbourne Inner South area hub grows, the faster you reach independent meetings and exclusive claim to your category.
Our Next Meeting
At every meeting, a member gives a presentation about their business, or a topic on which they are an expert.
This helps us to build the ‘know, like and trust’ that is at the heart of Fresh. By getting to know a member that bit better, we get closer to understanding their ideal referral and whether we can introduce them to any of our contacts.
