About Us 

Improving the world, one child and one community at a time

Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time. The name originates from the Native American phrase meaning “express oneself, have fun, make a noise”.


Founded in 1915 in the USA, Kiwanis originated as a business networking organisation which evolved into a service organisation and now have over 550,000 members in 8,300 clubs spanning 80 countries.


Kiwanis clubs help their communities in countless ways. Each community’s needs are different—so each Kiwanis club is different. By working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone.

Our Purpose

Kiwanis focuses on serving children around the world so that future generations will thrive. When you give a child the chance to learn, experience, dream, grow, succeed and thrive, great things happen.


Service Diversity

Kiwanis values the enthusiasm of members to pursue creative ways to serve the needs of children in their communities. 


Service is at the heart of every Kiwanis club, no matter where in the world it’s located. Members stage nearly 150,000 service projects and raise nearly US$100 million every year for communities, families and projects.

Being part of Kiwanis is rewarding and fun!

Get involved

Being a Kiwanis member can be rewarding in many ways. The greatest gift you could ever give yourself is the gratification of knowing you are contributing your help, time and efforts to people in your community who are in dire need.


Raising funds to help, making friends, and giving something back to your community - it's a rewarding and satisfying opportunity! 


Meetings

We meet on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month at the Jindalee Hotel.  


From 6pm, you will find us in the Sportmans Bar, before heading into the boardroom for a 1-hour meeting.   Once a month we have a guest speaker which provides enlightenment and education.


We then have dinner at the hotel in the Restaurant.

Become a member

With your initial joining fee, you'll get a shirt and name badge. Then, you'll pay a small annual fee in subsequent years to cover insurance and Kiwanis Australia and International membership.


Your membership includes a Police Check in the form of a Blue Card Application submitted by Kiwanis.


There are no commitment requirements - we understand that everyone has other things happening in life.


You choose how much time and effort you can put into service activities - whatever will bring you personal satisfaction!
