Victoria
Victoria has a vibrant, friendly and active sisterhood of Hatting, with Red and Pink Hatters from all walks of life in over 70 chapters!
With big conventions every few years open to Hatters from around Australia, smaller multi-chapter lunch meetups in the city, regional picnics, Queen’s Councils and more!
We have an active facebook group, where Hatters chat, share ideas and photos from their events as well as listing events open for all Hatters to attend.

Victorian Chapters
To find a chapter, look at the map below to find the closest chapter to your suburb, then check the spreadsheet under the map for the contact details for that chapter.
Scroll the list to see all the chapters and information. When viewing the Chapter List on a phone, swipe on the writing inside the box, rather than the scrollbar on the side. We currently have over 70 chapters!
Information here is to the best of our knowledge. Some chapters have no details listed because they have not given permission to be listed.

If you have a flyer (recommended!) please send that in an email to: redhatsvictoria@gmail.com
~ For Privacy Info
- All information you send in will be visible to anyone who visits the Aussie Hatting & Red Hats Victoria websites. It is therefore not recommended to include personal info (such as home address/home phone/your surname) on your event flyers/listings (You can give this to those who contact you for bookings)
- Submitting your event flyer as an image helps give a little more security for your email address.
- Consider giving banking details to attendees who have booked/registered rather than posting them in the event listing. (This will also help you keep track of payments better, as it will stop people paying before registering)
- Information you record of your attendees (such as names, phone numbers, email addresses) should be used only for the event they registered for and should be kept private.
~ Format of event notices
- The most convenient way for us to add your event here is to email the event flyer (preferably as an image) you’d like the Hatters to download.
- Saving your event flyer/promo as an image is the best way for it to be shared in a way everyone can view it properly!!!! However we will not type out the information to put in the listing, so if you want additional text added to your listing, send that in the form below or an email.
- Flyers as a .doc or .docx are not recommended as these can be unreadable for some Hatters, and often any layout and fonts you use will not look the same when opened on the other person’s computer/laptop/phone. Save the document as a .pdf file or image instead to preserve the same look and make it readable.
Email form will not send until confirmation of permission to publish the event has been given
