The Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre is a dynamic and eclectic Centre devoted to generating ideas and solutions to achieve cohesive, sustainable societies.
We create a year long program of FREE events and exhibitions, including lectures presented by international and national speakers and art exhibitions that reflect our fundamental themes: Strengthening our Democracy, Valuing our Diversity, Building our Future.
The Hawke Centre is home of the Kerry Packer Civic Gallery where the same programming ethos extends the Centre’s commitment to engage with the community by offering a dedicated gallery space for organisations to convey their social messages through art and conduct important outreach. The Kerry Packer Civic Gallery offers a vibrant program showing established, emerging and international artists.
