The beautiful Members’ Dining Rooms at Old Parliament were designed by renowned architect Walter Burley Griffin and constructed in 1927. Griffin’s vision was to create a space that reflected the Australian identity, and he incorporated elements of the bush and native flora into the design. The Members’ Dining Rooms have served as a venue for politicians, dignitaries, and other important figures to gather and socialize for over a century. They offer a glimpse into Australia’s political past and continue to be a valued part of the nation’s heritage.

Restaurant Associates, with their decade of experience at Old Parliament House, invites you to step into a world of culinary excellence. Their passionate team is dedicated to creating unforgettable moments through exquisite cuisine, impeccable service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land where we meet and work, the Ngunnawal people, and the many other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples from across Australia who have now made Canberra their home. We celebrate and respect their continuing culture and the contribution they make to the life of the ACT and region.

Sydney Children's Hospital Foundation are proud to display the new Registered Charity Tick from the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC), which aims to gives reassurance to the public that the charities they support are transparent and accountable. We rely on your donations and volunteering to ensure we can continue our vital work, so we want you to know your support is making a difference. Where you see the logo, it means the charity is registered with the ACNC so the public can easily find out what they do, who their beneficiaries are, how they are governed and how they manage their finances.
