About Rotary Adelaide

Rotary Adelaide has been serving the local, Australian and international community for 100 years.

Internationally, we fund water treatment plants in Sri Lanka, support projects in Serbia, Nepal, Philippines, India, Timor Leste, PNG and Tonga.

Within Australia, we support the National Science and Engineering Challenge, provide Nurture Kits as a small gesture of thanks to frontline health workers and support the Hutt Street Centre, Migrant Resource Centre and Indigenous student education scholarships.

As a peace builder club, Rotary Adelaide promotes the message of peace and builds goodwill and better friendships.

Every dollar raised goes towards our projects.  For more details of our project please check out our Projects page.

Rotary Adelaide is the oldest club in South Australia and one of the oldest in the Southern Hemisphere. You can read about the Club’s history in the History page.

Our 180 members reflect the increasing diversity of people and cultures living in South Australia today. Members bring a wide range of skills and interests that each find a place and a purpose within the club.

In our warm and welcoming environment members have the opportunity to build relationships and friendships that will enrich their work and personal lives and well as benefiting the community as a whole.

Rotary Adelaide operates under the auspices of Rotary International.  It provides support to our club in the form of training, resources, and access to global networks. Read more about Rotary International here.

Rotary Adelaide is affiliated with Rotary District 9510, which oversees clubs in SA, NT and Victoria.  It organises district-level events and provides additional support and resources.

We are governed and managed with expertise and imagination by a Board of twelve. Please check out our Governance page for the full details of Board membership and governance arrangements.
