Southbank & Elsternwick Rotary

We are a group of professionals and residents working together to make a real difference in our local community. Our focus is on practical projects that improve lives, strengthen community, and contribute to Rotary’s global mission of service.

Our Causes

Mental Health

We support early recognition of mental health challenges through awareness programs such as RUOK and Mental Health First Aid, building on our long-standing work with leaders like Professor Patrick McGorry AO.

Homelessness

We partner with organisations that provide both immediate help and long-term solutions for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, especially older women and young people.

Urban Greening

From tree planting to Rotary Bee and local greening projects, we work with neighbouring clubs and councils to improve biodiversity and create healthier spaces from Southbank to Elsternwick.
