Rotary Club of Central Launceston is committed to projects that promote proactive health, lifelong education and inclusion of all parts of our community.

 

Rotary globally is made up of 1.2 million passionate individuals in 35,000+ clubs. One of our biggest achievements in the ending of Polio, which we’re getting very close to complete eradication within the next couple of years with thanks to the support of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Growing ourselves

  • We’re a club dedicated to inclusion in all facets of our community. Our membership reflects that with a diverse range of ages, backgrounds, vocations and skills. Because of our varied community activities each member has opportunity to participate and grow their skill sets in ways they would not experience in their day to day lives.
