Join us for one of the highlights of Slick Week as the Melbourne Rubber 2026 Competition takes centre stage at The Laird in Abbotsford.

Open to contestants of all genders, the competition showcases the passion, creativity, and diversity of Melbourne's rubber community across three judged rounds. Contestants will be evaluated by an esteemed panel of both local and international judges, as they compete to become the next Melbourne Rubber titleholder.

This year also marks the debut of the annual Slick Awards. Celebrating excellence in creativity, service, leadership, and community connection, the awards honour those whose contributions create welcoming spaces, foster belonging, and strengthen Melbourne's rubber scene.

Whether you're cheering on the contestants, celebrating this year's award recipients, or simply experiencing the energy of competition night, this is an evening not to be missed.

Celebrate the biggest night of Slick Week at Late-XXX, the official Saturday party presented by the team at Hanky. Taking over The Third Day in North Melbourne, this immersive event brings together music, performance, and fetish culture for an unforgettable night of celebration.

Dance into the early hours with DJs soundtracking the night, explore a dedicated performance space featuring live BDSM demonstrations, and discover a curated dungeon area equipped with a range of bondage-friendly equipment. Whether you're there to dance, socialise or simply soak up the atmosphere, Late-XXX offers something for everyone.

Round out Slick Week with one final gathering at Evie's Disco Diner. Join us for a relaxed Sunday Social as we celebrate an incredible week of community, connection, and unforgettable memories before heading back to reality.
