Join us as the Rotary Club of Camberwell celebrates 70 years of Service Above Self.

Since 1956, our Club has brought people together to strengthen our local community, support projects across Australia and change lives through international partnerships.

This special evening will celebrate our history, honour the members whose service has shaped our Club and share inspiring stories of the difference we have made together.

More than a reflection on the past, our 70th Anniversary is also an opportunity to look forward — to renew our fellowship, welcome the next generation of Rotarians and continue creating lasting impact in the years ahead.

We warmly invite current and former members, partners, friends and supporters to share this important milestone with us.

Together, we have made a difference for 70 years. Together, we will make a difference for many more. Together we are Better Than Our Best.
