Our Mission Statement

Working together to create positive change in the wellbeing of our community and beyond.

Focus This Year

As a club we have decided our major focus this year will be to assist the local community and help build resilience to mitigate the impact COVID19 has had financially on families in the local area. Our committees are working hard to understand pressing needs and will be responding throughout the year to make a difference for those in need.

Find Out More About Membership

We are all aware of the tragic circumstances that people in our community face through no fault of their own. Drought, bushfire, covid and just bad luck.

People asked “what can I do to help” because that's what we want to do.

Our Rotary Club creates "help projects” that meet those needs.

Consider becoming a member, it's fun, friendly and very worthwhile knowing that your effort will make an enormous difference.
