Public Speaking and Communication

Learn and practise public speaking skills in a friendly club atmosphere

The Rostrum system

Rostrum clubs are located throughout Australia.

You join a small, friendly club.The club training officer works with you to develop your program.  Club members help you to gain confidence and improve your speaking skills in a friendly and supportive environment.

You learn by practising under the guidance of a coach or mentor.

Program

Rostrum has over 80 years experience in promoting effective communication.

Some Rostrum members may follow a structured program, others choose areas they personally want to improve, for example speeches for formal occasions such as weddings or practice for job interviews.

Club meetings allow you to practice running effective meetings.

Along the way you will stretch outside your comfort zone and gain confidence in your increased skills.

Membership

We welcome everyone as members. Our members come from diverse occupations, race and culture.

Fees

Club fees are modest but the value of membership is immense.  Fees vary for clubs depending on the facility costs.

Visit a club

We enjoy welcoming visitors. Check the clubs close to you, call and arrange to pay a visit to experience and enjoy the friendliness, exchange of thoughtful views and valuable advice.
