Our Mission & Vision

We are committed to making our local and global community a better place to live.

From our backyard to beyond our borders, connecting and improving the world through one idea or project at a time.

Our reach is only limited by the imagination of our members to improve and change the world. Each and every day, through an act of kindness, understanding and giving, we can effect change.

If we each take responsibility for our actions, then the reaction would be a better place for all. Collective intelligence starts with conscious communities and passionate participants.

Rotary provides service to others, promotes integrity, and advances world understanding, goodwill, and peace through our fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders.

Rotary – At the Centre of Your Community.

We’ve Been Around A While… Over 100 years in fact.

Since 1905, Rotary has been making a positive impact in the world. Beginning in Chicago before spreading throughout the world, Rotary first touched our shores in Australia in1921, with the charter of the Rotary Club of Melbourne, closely followed by the charter of a Sydney Club and other Clubs around the nation.

Since that time Rotary has grown all over Australia, and no matter where you are, you’ll find a Club near you that has contributed to some amazing things.
