Meeting Room Guide

Welcome to the Victorian Pride Centre!  

The Victorian Pride Centre respectfully acknowledges the Yaluk-ut Weelam Clan of the Boon Wurrung peoples. We pay our respects to their Elders, both past and present. We uphold their continuing relationship to this land, the land on which the Victorian Pride Centre stands.

There are also several local businesses able to provide refreshments and basic catering if you need. Please note that you will need to collect this from the ground floor, as they will not have access to the meeting rooms.
