About Rotary

Rotary International

Rotary International is the oldest and largest service organisation in the world founded by Paul Harris in 1905.

Rotary members, women and men, are from the community – they are leaders in business and trades, the arts, government, sports, military and not for profit and community organisations. They share a common purpose – to provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards and help build goodwill and peace in the world. Membership is open to men and women, of all ages, ethnic groups, political persuasions, languages and religious beliefs.

Rotary International has a strong global, national, and local profile that has been generated over more than 100 years of prodigious service. The level of this service, especially in the international arena, has been enhanced by the fact that Rotary International has its own Rotary Foundation [TRF]. Last year the Rotary Foundation spent US $280 million on international humanitarian projects.

“Service above Self” – Rotary Mission Statement.

The mission of Rotary International is to provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through its fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders.
The Rotary experience is built on volunteering, service at a local community, national and international level, friendship, networking, personal development and not without fun. Rotarians make a difference in the world by supporting those in need.

Australian Rotary Clubs have over 30,000 members locally, and Rotary’s motto ‘Service Above Self ’ demonstrates the humanitarian spirit of its 1.2 million members. Rotary is established in over 220 countries.

Rotary Clubs

The members of your local Rotary Clubs are dedicated to projects that enhance lives and communities locally and in developing countries. You can see the range of their projects on their websites. We are keen to build up these projects and create new ones, but for that we need more volunteers willing to give some of their time, skills, and energy. So, we're appealing to community members in Keilor and Moonee Valley -- not just to our own members - to lend us a hand. If you'd like to help and enjoy making new friends please contact us.  A partnership with Rotary may be the best way for you to achieve some of your goals.
