From 11:30am - 2:30pm

Join us for uplifting afternoon filled with stories of change, success, and hope - as well as an opportunity to raise funds and awareness of the work of Reclink in communities nationally.
More than a celebration, it’s a chance to connect with like‑minded people, form new relationships, and network with others across the Reclink community, as well as the community and corporate sectors.
This year’s lunch will also include:
- The launch of our new Strategic Direction
- Sam Bramham OAM as our Keynote Speaker
- Guest speakers sharing insights and lived experiences
- A cocktail hour, offering premium networking with our network of supporters.
We're thrilled to announce our Keynote Speaker: Sam Bramham OAM
Sam Bramham OAM is more than a Paralympic gold medallist and world record holder - he’s a storyteller, a motivator, a published author and a testament to the power of resilience. After having his right leg amputated at age five due to missing part of his femur, Sam overcame life’s challenges with humour, determination, and an unbreakable spirit.
From breaking records in the pool to breaking down barriers in life, Sam’s journey has inspired thousands. He shares his unique perspective on embracing change, finding strength in adversity, and living a bold and authentic life.
As a passionate advocate for disability inclusion and mental health, we are privileged to have Sam’s speak at this event, and are sure he will inspire action, spark laughter, and leave guests with unforgettable lessons to apply in their own lives.
