WELCOME TO PROBUS - CANBERRA

The ACT’s longest established Probus club.

The Probus Club of Canberra Inc. is the ACT’s longest established Probus club. Founded in 1982. It belongs to the world-wide Probus network which was established by Rotary and we are affiliated with Probus South Pacific Ltd.

Our Probus club has some 70 members at present.  It is an all-male club, but occasionally when there is an appropriate Speaker we invite wives, partners and lady guests to the meetings.

Typically the meeting commences at 09.30am with club business, followed by a club speaker.  Then, at 10.30am, we adjourn for morning tea until 11.00am when the guest speaker gives his or her address.  The meeting concludes at midday, though some members then choose to attend a luncheon in a nearby restaurant with the guest speaker.

  • There shall be no qualification for membership, and no awards, degrees and diplomas shall be given;
  • The emphasis shall be on learning for the love of it, and shall include an emphasis on the values of making things and improving skills of all kinds;
  • Learning shall take place in a friendly, supportive and social environment;
  • Those joining U3A shall pay for its upkeep;
  • There shall be no payment to any person (member or non-member) for teaching or providing a service to members except in the case of reimbursement for such expenses as travel, photocopying, etc.;
  • The curriculum of a U3A shall be determined by the needs/preferences of members and according to the resources available to it; and
  • To be at all times, non-political and non-sectarian in our approach.
