Making Gaming Social
Turn your gaming into something bigger. Build real skills, grow genuine friendships, and find new opportunities - all while doing what you love, with people who get it.
Social Gaming
Your weekly gaming session—just like footy training, but actually fun. Same people, same time, building real friendships through PC games, consoles, sim racing, and tabletop play. This isn't casual drop-in gaming—it's your regular crew, your consistent commitment, with people who get it.
Skills Lab
Turn gaming into genuine skills. Learn game development, 3D printing, digital creation, and tech skills through hands-on projects. Build a portfolio, explore career pathways, and develop capabilities that matter—all while working on things you're actually passionate about.
Tournaments & Events
Compete in organized tournaments, celebrate birthdays with your squad, and participate in gaming events that bring the community together. From friendly competitions to serious esports, we create opportunities to test your skills, celebrate wins, and be part of something bigger than solo play.
About Us
More Then Just Gaming
ESports Collective brings gaming out of isolation and into community. Build skills, make friends, and discover opportunities through programs designed around what you actually enjoy.
Find Your People
Connect with people who share your interests and get your world. Regular weekly sessions with the same crew mean you build genuine friendships, not just casual acquaintances. Small groups, consistent faces, and the kind of belonging that happens when you're doing what you love with people who speak your language.
Build Real Skills
Gaming builds genuine capabilities. Develop teamwork through coordinated play, sharpen communication in competitive settings, improve problem-solving under pressure, and build strategic thinking. Real skills that transfer to work and life—you're already learning them, we just make it intentional.
Unlock Opportunities
Compete, create, and earn through opportunities designed for gamers. Tournaments for those who want competition, work programs for those ready to build experience, and pathways for those exploring what's next. Your interests become your advantage, not something to hide or downplay.
A Different Type Of Team
We're building the esports and tabletop gaming equivalent of sports teams—structured, social, skill-building, and consistent. When gaming happens with the same crew each week, it builds teamwork, strategic thinking, problem-solving, and genuine friendships. This is the alternative for kids and young people who don't fit the traditional sports mold but deserve the same opportunities for connection and growth.

Three Business, One Mission
Part of Something Bigger
Gippsland Care Collective operates within The Social Space—a community hub where three businesses work together to create spaces where people can participate and thrive.
The Social Space
Interest-based programs open to everyone. Gaming, D&D, Lego, karaoke, crafting, and more. This is where community happens—where NDIS participants can access programs independently or with support. The activities that make capacity building actually work.
ESports Collective
Structured gaming programs with consistent weekly groups, daily drop-in sessions (3-6pm), tournaments, and events. Where NDIS participants can start with supports and transition to independent participation. Gaming as motivation, community as the outcome.
Gippsland Care Collective
NDIS supports and allied health services that help people participate in The Social Space programs and in the community. Capacity building through real engagement, with independence as the goal. Support when you need it, independence when you're ready.
