A Day of Play with Purpose

Join us for Paddle for Life, a powerful community event supporting DonateLife and raising awareness for kidney health.

This is not just another pickleball day — it's a celebration of mateship, generosity, and life-changing action. Whether you’re a seasoned player or picking up a paddle for the first time, you’ll be part of something bigger than the game.

Paddle for Life is an open day for a cause — come with mates, bring the family, join as a work group, or rock up solo. All ages and skill levels welcome. Never played? Our amazing club members will guide you.

Arrive early and get settled. Meet our friendly volunteers, grab your raffle tickets, and soak up the welcoming vibes. Courts will be open and the BBQ warming up. Let’s get the day rolling!

🕛 12:00 PM – Welcome & Storytelling

We begin with an inspiring real-life story: Mick & Paul, two mates brought together by a kidney donation that changed both their lives.
We’ll also introduce the incredible work of DonateLife and share how you can support organ donation and kidney health in Australia.
