Who it’s for
Open Communities is Australian software for community organisations. Publish news, keep member details, run events and keep people informed. Start with the example that best fits your group.
Your public website and admin tools sit in your group’s own community area. It holds your group’s name and identity, public content, people and committee details. People with the right access can manage these tasks.
Keep member details and groups alongside your public club website. Publish events and let people sign up. Keep your committee informed as plans take shape.
Running a sports club? See tools for off-field member details, committee access and events.
Keep your association’s member details and groups in one place. Give committee members access to the tasks they manage. Share news about events and activities with your members.
Use your website to explain your purpose and what your group does. Show projects people can give towards and recognise sponsors. Your committee can manage the details behind these public actions.

For example, people can find an event on your website and sign up. Organisers can review who has booked and the related payment details for that event. At arrival, volunteers with check-in access can scan QR tickets to check people in.

A volunteer-led committee can keep the group’s details together beyond one person’s term. Review who has admin access when people hand over their tasks.
Admins with the right permissions can view member records and manage who is in each group. Being a member does not give someone admin access.
