CEO COOKOFF
Join influential business and community leaders, corporate teams and some of the world’s most respected chefs this October at CEO CookOff 2026 events around the country.
Together, we’ll cook, connect and create change to deliver 5 million meals in 30 days.
5 MILLION MEALS
COOK. CONNECT. CREATE CHANGE.
CEO CookOff, OzHarvest’s flagship fundraising initiative, returns this October 2026 with events taking place in cities across Australia - and we’d love you to be part of it.
This is more than a fundraiser. CEO CookOff brings together Australia’s leading chefs, business and community leaders, and corporate teams for an unforgettable night built around food, connection and impact. Together, you’ll cook incredible meals, serve guests from OzHarvest - supported charities, and sit alongside them to share a meal, conversation and experience that stays with you long after the night ends.
This is about food, connection and compassion - all driven by one ambitious goal: to raise $2,500,000 to deliver 5 million meals in 30 days and help OzHarvest continue to nourish communities across the country.
