Start Your Own Local Unplugged Group

Join the Australia Unplugged Movement

Are you interested in creating an Unplugged community in your local area?
We’d love to support you in getting up and running under the Australia Unplugged umbrella.

Step 1 – Get in Touch

Email us at: hi.australiaunplugged@gmail.com

Tell us:

  • Your name (or team)

  • Where you’re based

  • A little about yourself

  • Why you want to start a local Unplugged community

Step 2 – Learn What Unplugged Is All About

We’ll send you:

  • A simple set of guidelines outlining what Unplugged stands for

  • What it means to run a local group as part of the national movement

    You’ll have the chance to:

  • Ask any questions

  • Have a chat with us

  • Reflect on whether the Unplugged values align with your vision

    When you’re ready, we’ll create and send you a custom logo for your local Unplugged group (e.g., Ballarat Unplugged, Mullumbimby Unplugged, etc.)

Step 3 – Make It Yours

This is where your creativity and local magic come in.

While we provide guidance and values to align with, each Unplugged community has the freedom to:

  • Design and run their own events

  • Explore themes that suit their unique community

  • Experiment with formats that work locally

We’ll happily share:

  • Ideas that have worked in other areas

  • Tips, resources, and lessons learned

    But within some light boundaries, you’re free to “run wild” with how your local Unplugged takes shape.

Step 4 – Ongoing Support & Connection

You won’t be doing this alone.

As part of the Australia Unplugged network, you’ll receive:

  • A spot in our WhatsApp group with other local Unplugged organisers

  • Access to occasional group Zoom calls to share experiences, ask questions, and learn together

  • Your local group listed on the Australia Unplugged website

Promotion of your events and highlights to a national audience via our socials and newsletters

Let’s unplug, reconnect, and build something beautiful — together.
