Compatible Connections. 

Australia's only 

interest-based 

speed dating.


Join our list to stay connected to our upcoming events!

What makes our events different?

Everyone is starting to feel tingles of trauma from online dating. Everyone has a shady story, or five...

The dating culture is one muddy puddle we don't want your hearts dancing in anymore!

Try something different.

Peel back to basics because really, true love starts with shared interests and friendship. 

We'd like to shake off the cultural conditioning of poor behaviour,  and the fast food pace of modern dating.

We'd like to create an opportunity for you to continue friendships past the date night, slow down, simmer, and take your sweet sweet time and get to know someone before rushing all that "romance".  Enjoy shared interests! And let love (possibly)  bloom.

Come along with an open heart and mind, your ol fashioned integrity and genuine care for your fellow humans. 

Then, let's have a real good time together. :)

Compatible Interests


We plan our events based on themes or experiences, making your night memorable.

Our upcoming events have the following themes:

Tradie for a Lady

Some ladies go bonkers for a fella who is hands on practical and clever at getting things done.

Music Lovers

Calling all musicians, groupies, festival heads, those who live for the weekend gigs.

On the Spectrum

A safe place to meet those who understand. Bring your support person and take a break whenever you need.

Gentleman's Club

For the sophisticated, those who like the finer things in life.  Share the luxury experience of a quality venue and maybe meet your match.

Single Parents

If your babes are your life you want to meet those who truly understand the juggle. Weekend getaways might be the perfect respite for you both.

Travel Mates

Do you live for the adventure of exploring other worlds. Meet others who share your passion for travel, share itineraries, tales and tips.

People of Faith

When your faith comes first you want to connect with others who encourage and support you. Couples who pray together, stay together.

Quirky Kin

If you don't like being put in a box, you are passionate about sooo many things and want to be met with zest and enthusiasm, then try this lucky dip of fun.

LGBTIQA+

Find relief and relax into meeting others who understand your experience. Take the guess work out, is she... yes! Keen to meet new friends, and maybe more.

Adrenaline Junkies

Shout out to the rock climbers, the hang gliders, base jumping a thing? Mountain bike, or motor braap. We open this up to those who get a thrill from fast paced action.

Homestead Dreams

For those who live on the land, or would swoon to join the revolution. Home grown, self reliant, cluckin chickies, hand made bikkies. You know who your people are.

Freedom Fighters

For those who are genuinely passionate about our human rights and the freedom to choose.  This is for those who are aware whilst having a zest for life and making the most of now.

Foodies

For the love of food. Cooks, bakers, fine dining to feasters. This is for those who live for the flavours. Dinner date after, anyone?

Dog Folk

Ain't nobody going to tell you to get that dog off the end of your bed! Attendees might not own a dog but the love is real, some wish so hard that they did.

Ocean Addicts

Sunrise over the water makes your body sing. Paddle, swim, surf and ski. This is for those who love the water and can't imagine a life not livin it to the max.

Gym Junkies

Imagine having a training buddy, someone who get's it.  Eats, lives, and understands your dedication. Say goodbye to jealousy about your time spent in the gym.

Arts Appreciation

Creators, appreciators and all those who have an affinity with the arts. Gallery trails, pottery class, design,  architecture and all things creative.

Vegans + Vegetarians

The reasons for everyone is unique, the integrity is real. Since eating happens at least three times a day, it's easily top of the list.

Nature Lovers

If getting off the beaten track and finding hidden tranquil gems is your thing then join us. For the campers, the happy hikers, the native seekers, those who love the natural world around us.

Property Moguls

Real Estate obsession is a thing.  Renovators, investors, developers, builders, interior designers, and decorators. Imagine what you could create when you're passion is met.

Lifestylers

Did you ditch the 9-5 to create a life on your terms. Meet others who are flexible like you and living a life they create, financial freedom, savvy souls.

Law of Attraction

If you thrive on positive vibes and have faith in the universe you want to connect with those who are on your frequency. 

Health Conscious

Movement, mindfulness, meditation and more self care. If you vom at the thought of someone consuming the Big M and care about what you consume, then this is your crowd. 

Book Worms

Do you have a thirst for knowledge, fantasy or true crimes. A consumer of podcasts, with an ability to be swept away and lose track of time. 


" Being face to face is THE best.

I wouldn't have swiped some of the guys I met and yet once they started talking I could actually see them, not just a photo in a sea of hundreds. "

- Catherine, your host, after her first speed dating experience.

We ask our attendees to act with respect, treat others how you want to be treated and leave the online rudeness at the door.

We don't appreciate double dating doopsters, or gooly ghosts,  and ask everyone to communicate their intentions and needs clearly with each other, long after the event. 

Be kind.

Frequently Asked Questions

ABOUT SPEED DATING AUSTRALIA    - BRISBANE - SYDENY - MELBOURNE - ADELAIDE - PERTH - DARWIN -

Does anyone do speed dating anymore?

Singles are fatigued by the online dating swipe culture and on the hunt for an alternative way to meet a potential partner, speed dating is the answer!

You are not the only one absolutely exhausted with dating apps. Who has capacity to spend hours texting short nothings to a random person before you even know if there's any kind of connection. It's obscure.

The time is ripe, now! 

Are speed dating worth it?

Speed dating is worth experiencing as you will have a positive real interaction with the opposite sex, it's an opportunity to see people for who they really are, not just a flat picture and description. 

Watch the other person light up talking about what inspires them and share the excitement of what you enjoy too.  We know you'll have a greater chance for a lasting connection by coming along to an experience or shared interest group because those things lead the way to what matters, shared values.  

Where can I meet over 40 singles in Brisbane?

Attending  speed dating, table for eight, singles functions and getting face to face truely is the best  way for 40 singles and older to meet their potential partner.  With kids, career, family and commitments you're so busy living your best life it gets harder to organically meet.

Nobody wants to meet their potential partner at a bar, you're more likely to worry that they have a drinking problem!  Plus, if you're out and about you are caught up enjoying the company you are with.  And who has time to add texting with online app randoms to their schedule.

How do you stand out on speed dating?

The best way to stand out when speed dating is to smile, be curious, warm, open and have a passion to share. Having had time alone to figure out what excites and inspires you is super attractive to others.
