If you run a business anywhere across the Perth metro area, the Joondalup Business Association gives you a steady, welcoming network in the northern corridor — regular events, genuine referrals and a collective voice for local business since 1994.
What a northern-corridor network offers Perth businesses
Perth has plenty of networking groups. What sets JBA apart is a not-for-profit structure, a long history in one community and a membership that keeps turning up — which is exactly what makes business relationships worth something.
A network of 300+ business owners
JBA members range from sole traders and trades through to professional services firms and established local employers. Whatever your sector, you will find people who understand the realities of running a business in Perth.
Regular events you can actually attend
Coffee Connections, Sundowners, Speed Networking and workshops run throughout the year, mostly in Joondalup. Morning, evening and structured formats mean you can network in a way that suits your schedule.
Referrals built on relationships
Work comes from people who know and trust you. Turning up consistently to a network with a stable membership is a far more reliable way to win referrals than one-off events across the metro area.
A voice with local government
JBA represents business interests to the City of Joondalup and other decision-makers. Being part of an organised association gives your concerns more weight than raising them alone.
Visibility in a searchable directory
Every member gets a profile in the JBA online directory, with your description, categories, contact details and promotional gallery — useful exposure for customers searching locally.
Easy to reach from across Perth
Joondalup sits on the Mitchell Freeway and the Joondalup train line, with parking at the JBA offices on Lakeside Drive. Members travel in from across the northern suburbs and greater Perth.
Getting started
How to start networking with JBA
You do not need to be based in Joondalup to take part. Here is the simplest path from first visit to a network that works for your business.
1
Come to an event as a guest
Most JBA events welcome non-members. Pick one from the calendar, come along and see whether the room feels like your kind of network before committing to anything.
2
Have a clear, short introduction
Be able to explain what you do and who you help in two sentences. Clarity makes it far easier for other members to refer work to you later.
3
Join and claim your directory profile
Membership gives you your directory listing, member rates on events, promotion opportunities and access to the wider member community.
4
Show up consistently
Networking compounds. Members who attend regularly across a year build the relationships that lead to referrals, partnerships and advice when they need it.
