Rotary boasts a global membership exceeding 1.2 million individuals dedicated to making a positive impact on communities both locally and internationally. Our Victor Harbor chapter, established in 1947, has a rich legacy of community service in South Australia, having raised over $3 million for local and global initiatives, including collaborative efforts with the Bill Gates Foundation to combat Polio.
Presently, our club is comprised of 31 active members, representing a diverse spectrum of age, gender, and skills. This diversity enhances our collective ability to successfully execute a wide array of projects, events, and activities throughout the year.

Club Members
The heart of our club is our members, dedicated people who share a passion for community service and friendship. Rotary members share ideas, make plans, hear from the community, and catch up with friends during club meetings that fuel the impact we make.
The Rotary year runs from July to June and each new year brings a new club president and they then elects the club board members whose job it is to help the president during their year of office. The structure of Rotary also includes committees which work on projects and fundraising activities throughout the year. Raised funds are given to worthy causes both locally, nationally and overseas.
