Events

Throughout the year, we hold events to help raise support for Seafarers who visit our ports. Here are the upcoming events for you to be aware of:

Annual Luncheon 2025

At NSW Parliament House, Sydney CBD,
12-2pm on Friday, June 20

From covid-19 lockdowns to the global cost of living crisis; Seafarers continue to face wave after wave of challenges both at sea and in their daily lives. Join us as we pay tribute to their resilience in a practical way – by supporting the welfare work of Mission to Seafarers, Sydney.

Over 150 members of the port community and MtS supporters have joined us each year for our previous Luncheons making them an excellent opportunity to connect and show your company’s support for seafarers. Companies have previously booked a table as a way to thank dedicated staff!

The Luncheon includes drinks on arrival, entrée and main meal showcasing Australian produce, with matching wines, soft drinks and mineral water, followed by coffee or tea.
