Get Framed at the 2026 ODA Gala

Optical Dispensers Australia (ODA) is thrilled to invite you to the 2026 ODA Gala. This year is offering something entirely unique - for the very first time, the ODA Gala will take place in two different cities making it accessible to attendees from both the East and West coasts. The celebratory evenings in Melbourne (VIC) and Fremantle (WA) will recognise the achievements of outstanding optical dispensers and commemorate students graduating from the Certificate IV in Optical Dispensing course. 

Optical dispensers, optical assistants, optometrists, industry colleagues, friends, family, suppliers, optical nerds and socialites are all invited to attend this industry event.

Taking place in the iconic Melbourne Town Hall (Saturday March 14th) and the historical Esplanade Hotel in Fremantle (Friday March 20th) the Galas will be sure to attract guests from all over the country.

The 2026 theme, “GET FRAMED” invites attendees to showcase their boldest and most daring eyewear. Expect evenings packed with frame-focused entertainment, fundraising for the annual ODA Fiji Outreach and a vibrant celebration of the optical dispensing industry.
