The Wheeler Centre exists to support writers, readers and thinkers. Through live and digital conversations, debates, readings, performances and discussions, it deepens public engagement with the most pressing topics of the day, without fear or favour. It is dedicated to creative collaboration, community engagement, diversity, and innovation.

Founded in 2009, the Wheeler Centre is firmly established at the heart of Victoria’s rich cultural life and Melbourne’s status as a vibrant UNESCO City of Literature.

Based in the Melbourne CBD on Little Lonsdale St, the Centre is also a hub and home for writers and key literary organisations, including the Melbourne Writers’ Festival, Writers’ Victoria, Express Media, Emerging Writers’ Festival, Australian Poetry and Small Press Network.

Engaging, entertaining and always challenging our audiences, the Wheeler Centre is proudly and widely known as Melbourne’s home for vibrant conversation. 

The Wheeler Centre acknowledges that we live and work on the lands of the Kulin Nation. We pay respects to their elders past and present, and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
