2024 EASTER refresh MEETINGS

The Annual Easter Refresh convention began in 1996. Each year we have hosted an inspirational guest speaker brought in from around Australia or internationally. The annual Easter Refresh Convention Influencers’ Breakfast, a Civic Leaders’ gathering from various segments of our community, is one of the highlights of this time. This year we commence Thursday 28th March (7AM – 8:45AM). This year our keynote speaker is Luke Connaughton who heads up Sports Chaplaincy Australia (Vic/Tas) which provides pastoral support to high profile and elite sportsmen and sportswomen, as well as overseeing a team of hundreds of volunteer sports chaplains around Victoria and Tasmania who provide support to sports people in a variety of diverse sporting clubs. Luke works on the frontline of crisis-emergency and trauma support, suicide response and prevention, and helping to provide soul-care for the super-successful. He is in much demand around the nation as a public speaker, trainer, and care facilitator. On the home-front, he and Sarah have been married for nine years and together they have three young children. On an even more positive note, apart from being a coffee snob, and ocean-side junkie, Luke barracks for the Geelong Cats. Luke is a graduate of Ridley College.
