Rostrum is self fulfilment. Rostrum is networking. Rostrum develops your credentials and helps your career. Rostrum is training and education. Rostrum groups throughout Australia help people develop skills in public speaking and chairmanship of meetings.
Members develop skills in a supportive club environment, progressing at their own pace.
They begin with simple introductory exercises and progress to more challenging tasks through a structured development program. After each exercise feedback is given by an Accredited Critic who is trained to build skill and confidence among members of the club. For those who wish to test their speaking skills under competitive conditions, clubs and Zones conduct several annual competitions. Also, Australian Rostrum conducts a National speaking competition every four years. Rostrum conducts the annual National Voice of Youth Competition for Secondary school Students.
