Melbourne CookOff

Join the Melbourne CookOff

Join us at OzHarvest Melbourne HQ, where for one extraordinary night, our Port Melbourne warehouse transforms into a buzzing, purpose-driven kitchen like no other. 

This isn’t your typical gala or charity dinner — it’s the OzHarvest CEO CookOff™, where aprons replace suits and the city’s most influential leaders stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Australia’s top chefs to plate up hope, dignity, and delicious food for those doing it tough.

Guided by the culinary brilliance of some of Australia's leading chefs, this immersive evening will be filled with sizzling pans, shared stories, and real impact. As the warehouse hums with energy, music, and laughter, you’ll be part of something truly powerful — a movement that goes beyond charity, creating meaningful change through the simple but profound act of sharing a meal.

Participants will raise vital funds to support OzHarvest’s mission to Nourish Our Country — helping to feed Australians in need and reduce food waste. Every plate served is a reminder of what’s possible when community, compassion, and leadership come together.

So roll up your sleeves, bring your heart to the table, and help turn an ordinary warehouse into Melbourne’s most impactful kitchen for one unforgettable night.

Let’s cook with purpose, lead with empathy, and make a difference — one dish at a time.
