Melbourne Press Club

Melbourne Press Club

The Melbourne Press Club or commonly referred to as MPC is a not for profit association of journalists in the city of Melbourne, Australia.[1]

The Melbourne Press Club provides awards in the State of Victoria for outstanding journalism, presenting the annual Quill Awards for Excellence in Victorian journalism.[2] MPC co-hosts the annual Graham Perkin Australian Journalist of the Year Award, named after a celebrated Australian journalist. MPC also presents the annual Grant Hattam Award, in honour of the leading media lawyer who died suddenly in 1998 from cancer.

The MPC often holds lunches for the press to meet with high-profile political leaders, business leaders and figures relevant to significant public issues. The Journalism 2007 Conference was sponsored by MPC in 2007, and in 2007, Prime Minister John Howard made an address to the MPC regarding Australia's Climate Change Policy.[3][4]

The Melbourne Press Club is partially sponsored by Sensis, a sustainable development project.[5]
