Become an Altona Rotarian

Becoming a Rotarian will provide you with a lifetime of memories, the opportunity to give something back into the community, and the chance to really make a difference in this world.

You will form new friendships, have your family welcomed at social outings, and engage in local and international community projects. Above all, you will enjoy the pride and privilege that comes with making a difference in this world.

We have engaging and topic guest speakers, being from your local SES, to engineers talking about Hepper filters in lifts/building, planes and your Dysons vacuum – amazing. Speakers on local environs to inventors, or our inspiring young scientist, or the world of AI, then groups building well-being healthy lifestyle activities face-2-face.

Rotary has many opportunities in networking, professional development, public speaking and international travel.

Rotary Altona is happy to announce the forthcoming 2025-2026 District Governor is Peter Shepheard our very own member of Rotary Altona.

Where We Meet

Fundraisers

Altona Rotarian Members participate in many fundraising events each year:

• Hobsons Bay Art Exhibition Show
• BBQ Sausage sizzles at Bunnings
• New for 2024 - Line Dancing bringing together line dancers from across Victoria to Hobsons Bay.
• We always appreciate new initiatives to look at to engage the Community and make our fundraising more of a community event to meet laugh and enjoy good old and new company.
• We do hold many smaller functions and work in collaboration with other Rotary Clubs to raise funds for specific projects eg: Cubby for Williamstown Primary school specifically designed for children with low mobility or in wheelchair. We had previously built similar at the Yooralla pre-school in Sixth Ave Altona.
• many more smaller functions supporting other Rotary Clubs to raise specific funds 

Members are also involved in many local community projects and social outings.
