Members develop skills in a supportive club environment, progressing at their own pace. They begin with simple introductory exercises and progress to more challenging tasks through a structured development program.

After each exercise feedback is given by an Accredited Critic who is trained to build skill and confidence among members of the club.

For those who wish to test their speaking skills under competitive conditions,  our clubs and State organisations conduct several annual competitions. Also, Australian Rostrum conducts a National  speaking competition every four years.

Rostrum conducts the annual National Voice of Youth Competition for Secondary school Students.

Rostrum is an organization that focuses on the personal development of members. People from all backgrounds are welcome, both men and women. It is non-sectarian, non-political and non-religious and is a not-for-profit organisation.
