When's the last time you tried something new?
What is Newbie Nation?
Newbie Nation is your space to build meaningful connections through sports and wellness events. No awkward small talk, no icebreakers. Just real people searching for real friendship.
Whether you're new to Perth or you've lived here your whole life, everyone is welcome to get active, learn new skills and make new mates.
Our story
How it works
Choose a social
Our activity changes every social, and it doesn't matter if you've played a sport your entire life or this will be your first attempt. Every social is built to be accessible and enjoyable for all experience levels.
Show up
Our socials are designed to help you connect. We get stuck straight into the activity, so there's no time for awkward small talk. Before you know it, you're already laughing together through a shared experience.
Leave with new friends
Every social ends with refreshments and an opportunity to keep connecting. That's where the real friendships are built. It really is that simple.
Who is Newbie Nation for?
- Newcomers to Perth looking for their people
- Anyone wanting to learn a new skill or sport
- People keen to get back into a sport they love
- Anyone wanting to meet people with common interests
- Anyone coming solo, with mates or with a date

You have created a really positive space for people to make connections and try new things. It was such an enjoyable time.
This is an amazing idea. I've been looking for a group like this since moving to Perth!!
Thanks for such a lovely welcoming today to the footie, it was really nice and warm and made me feel welcome.
We had such a great time last night. It was even more fun than I thought it would be!
I love this thing you've set up. I just wish it didn't sell out so fast!
Thank you for organising netball tonight, was fab!
