Welcome

Rotary is an international organisation of business and professional men and women from all nations and cultures united to better their communities. You can be part of a global organisation that enables men and women to turn conversations into actions.

The Rotary Club of Brisbane Planetarium (now Paddington) was formed by District Governor Rev Allan Male (1985-86) and his vision was to establish the first breakfast club in Queensland. The Club has a rich history of achievements:

• The first breakfast club in Queensland

• The formation of six Probus Clubs  (PROBUS CLUB of FOREST PLACE  – DURACK INC 1st Meeting 18th July 1994, Taringa, Chapel Hill, Indooroopilly, Indooroopilly West and Paddington)
• The first female member of Rotary in Queensland (1989)
• The first female District Governor (District D9600) – Judy Magub
• Director of Rotary International (2008-10) – member John Lawrence
• Changed Name to Rotary Club of Paddington (2019)

The Rotary Club of Paddington meets on a weekly basis to hear quality speakers, plan projects, network and socialize. We attract frequent visitors including members of other clubs as well as interstate and international visitors and presenters.
