Location: Design Tasmania - Corner of Brisbane and, Tamar St, Launceston TAS 7250
Join the Launceston CEO CookOff
Join us at Design Tasmania, where for one unforgettable night, this celebrated creative space will transform into a beautifully curated dining venue filled with purpose, community, and the aromas of a shared mission. The OzHarvest CEO CookOff™ is coming to Launceston — uniting local business leaders, passionate chefs, and generous changemakers to cook for impact and serve with heart.
This is not your typical charity event. It’s a hands-on, apron-clad evening where CEOs and community leaders team up with Tasmania’s top culinary talent to prepare and plate up a gourmet meal for people in need. Set in the heart of Launceston’s cultural precinct, Design Tasmania will become a stage for generosity — where leadership is reimagined through shared meals and human connection.
In the lead-up, each participant raises vital funds to support OzHarvest’s mission to Nourish Our Country. Then, inside this striking design hub, the power of food takes centre stage — with music, storytelling, and the warmth of Tasmanian hospitality filling the room.
Join us at Design Tasmania as it becomes a dining venue with a difference — where every course delivers more than flavour, and every guest walks away deeply moved. Let’s cook with creativity, lead with purpose, and show how community can change lives.
