Why I Joined: A Conversation with Grant Brix

What brought them through the door, and what belonging to the Club has meant for their career.

Sometimes all it takes is one introduction.

For many Members, the journey to the Club begins through someone who recognises the value of connection, community and shared experience and believes it is worth passing on.

For Grant Brix, that introduction came from a former President who saw the potential benefit of being surrounded by like-minded people at different stages of their careers and lives. What followed was exposure to new ideas, meaningful conversations and relationships that have since become an important part of his personal and professional journey.

As part of our Member Stories series, we are pleased to share Grant’s reflections on finding his place within the Club community.


I was first introduced to The Brisbane Club by a former President of the Club who was a client and believed it would be a beneficial place to be a part of, both for my professional and personal journey, by being around like-minded individuals at all stages of careers and life.

I was then fortunate enough to be connected to a number of other Members who brought me along to experience the Property Lunch and several other events. These occasions gave me exposure to the open dialogue and information freely shared among Members, discussions that extended beyond business and were often grounded in shared interests and common experiences.

Since then, the Club has grown into an invaluable part of my life and has resulted in many great friendships, mentors and business opportunities.

Every member is proposed and seconded by someone who already belongs. There's no application to fill in, no fee that buys your way past it. Since 1903, membership here has been an aspiration first, and a privilege second.

The Cellar, three-time Australian Wine List of the Year. A dining room worth leaving the office for. Every detail considered, every visit bespoke to the member in the room. Some things still can't be replicated behind a screen, and this Club is built on that fact.

Express your interest

Members meet as peers, not contacts, across business, government, law and the professions. No pitching, no forced networking, just a room where introductions tend to outlast the introduction itself, and conversations run longer than anyone planned.

Express your interest

Honour boards carry real names, real dates, real history. Members are known here, not by title but by name, welcomed into a pedigree of friendships that outlasts careers, committees and even the room they were first made in.
