Send an enquiryOpen Communities is an Australian software platform for community organisations. You can publish your public website and use organiser tools to manage your activities. Your committee can use these tools where they have access.
For example, an organiser posts an event on the website, where people can register. The organiser can then check who has booked and view payment details for that event. When guests arrive, volunteers with access can scan QR tickets to check them in.
