At Tabletop Support, we believe that a game is never just a game.
Every painted miniature, every roll of the dice, every card drawn, and every conversation across a gaming table has the potential to bring people together. Through shared experiences, creativity, and genuine human connection, tabletop hobbies can make a meaningful difference to people’s wellbeing.
Tabletop Support is an Australian charity dedicated to improving wellbeing through tabletop gaming, miniature painting, roleplaying games, and other creative hobbies. We create welcoming, inclusive spaces where people can connect with others, develop new skills, build confidence, and find a sense of belonging.
Many people experience loneliness, social isolation, stress, or periods where connecting with others feels difficult. Tabletop hobbies provide a unique environment where conversations happen naturally, teamwork develops organically, and friendships often begin over a shared interest. Painting miniatures encourages mindfulness and creativity, while games promote problem-solving, communication, resilience, and social connection.
Our goal isn’t simply to run gaming events. We build communities where everyone feels welcome, regardless of age, background, experience, or ability. Whether you’re picking up a paintbrush for the first time, joining your first roleplaying game, or competing in a tournament, you’ll find an environment built on respect, encouragement, and inclusion.
Throughout the year we host a variety of activities, including:
Tabletop gaming events and tournaments
Board game and roleplaying sessions
Miniature painting workshops
Social hobby meetups
Community engagement activities and partnerships
Everything we do is guided by the belief that connection is one of the strongest contributors to wellbeing. By creating opportunities for people to meet, create, and play together, we help build stronger, healthier communities.
Thank you for visiting Tabletop Support. Whether you’re here to attend an event, volunteer, partner with us, or simply learn more about what we do, we’d love to welcome you to our community.
Together, we’re building wellbeing through creativity, connection, and the tabletop hobbies we love.
