National Press Club is a broad church of political power; ministerial, bureaucratic, corporate and media in Canberra and hosts the public debates that will shape Australia today and into the future.
As a profession, journalism comes with its own risk and can be a solitary endeavour. The National Press Club is a place where the media’s work is celebrated, professional networks developed and the freedom to do that work, fiercely protected. We recognise the efforts and achievements of our members, who are making journalistic contributions that will change the course of history.

As a vigorous champion of media freedom, we want your help in holding the world’s decision-makers to account. It can’t be all work and no play, however. In addition to a front-row seat at the national conversation, membership comes with access to social events, live music and the chance to relax with the people who shape our nation.
Take your place amongst the investigators, storytellers and culture shapers of the nation, and make the National Press Club of Australia your home away from home.
