The ODA GALA ~ Melbourne 2024

Don your finest outfit and come ready to celebrate! This year's Gala is "Black Tie with a touch of Sparkle"

ODA is thrilled to invite you to the 2024 ODA Gala in Melbourne. The ODA Gala is the feature social event of the year. 

Being held on the evening of Friday, 1st March 2024 in Melbourne, the celebratory evening will recognise the achievements of outstanding optical dispensers and commemorate students graduating from the Certificate IV in Optical Dispensing course.

Taking place in the iconic Melbourne Town Hall on Swanston Street, the magnificent heritage building and historical treasure in the heart of the city is a world-class event venue. Defined by striking monumental architecture and located right in the centre of the CBD, the Gala is sure to attract guests from all over the country. 

The 2024 evening will play host to the ODA National Excellence Awards and Optical Dispensing Graduation and is a wonderful way to network with optical dispensers, new and old, in the lavish setting of Swanston Hall. The presentation of awards will take place before honouring graduating students and enjoying a fun filled evening complete with a silent auction and entertainment to raise funds for the ODA Aid trip to Fiji, live band, cocktail food, drinks, city lights and a photo booth.
