Welcome to Chermside Forum
Chermside Forum is a friendly, supportive group that meets once a month in the Brisbane Northside area. The aim of our meetings is to improve confidence and communication skills. Members learn and practise public speaking, how meetings run, the roles and duties of office bearers and workshop facilitation. Feel free to contact us if you would like to learn new skills, enhance your abilities and meet new people. Visitors are always welcome.

What others are saying …
If you value feeling confident at work and in social settings and want to communicate effectively for personal and professional success – join Forum! – Ben, Bayside Forum
I was introduced to Forum by an amazingly helpful member whose guidance and mentoring helped me quickly see the importance of both speaking with confidence and being able to run an effective meeting in my role then as Retirement Living Officer. Attaining and practising those skills meant that all avenues of my life changed and so many opportunities opened up. I am forever grateful to Forum for its inspirational leaders and members. – Elaine, Bayside Forum
