Our story
Founded in 2016 by Jason Bishop, the Canberra Notice Board began as a humble Facebook group with a simple mission: to connect the people of Canberra. Today, it has flourished into one of the region’s largest and most dynamic online communities, boasting over 200,000 members. Our group is a vibrant hub where residents, businesses, and visitors come together to share, support, and celebrate the best of Canberra.

Stories that start in our group often make their way to the headlines, amplifying the voices and events that matter most to our community.
