At Salisbury City Rotaract Club, we're committed to making a difference in our community.

Check our Facebook Events for details or contact us to learn more about our club and how you can get involved.
Salisbury City Rotaract Club wishes to acknowledge the land of which we serve the community is that of the Kaurna Nation. We recognise the strength and resilience of the Kaurna people and First Nations' people everywhere.
We also acknowledge and pay our respect to Elders Past and Living today as the Custodians of this ancient land. We recognise past traumas, some of which occurred not too long ago that still have an effect today.
We all have a responsibility to work towards true reconciliation however to achieve this, it is the voices of our First Nations' that must lead the conversations.

Why are we here?

Our members view the club as a vehicle for creating action. Our members want to be people of action. The need for professional development is also a major driver for why people are involved in Rotaract.

Our members want meetings to be purposeful and be more than just a check-in style event. However, our members also see the socialising and check-in that happens during a Rotaract Meeting a clear element of our club and an integral part of our offering to members and to our club culture.

What we do?

Rotaract has an object of Help – Learn – Enjoy and so will our meetings. We operate on a cycle wherein a period of 3 meeting, the following is achieved:

HELP

Highlighting our ongoing projects and focus areas as a club alongside allocating time to engage with hands-on projects, such as Steptember, Clean-up Australia Day and tree planting. These meetings will also accommodate for project planning, adapting to our members’ skills and passions to drive outcomes like with The Food Insecuirty Project, our Reconciliation Action Plan, and the Christmas Lunch/ Present Drive

LEARN

Getting down to business; running professional development seminars and workshops that upskill our members and the community. We engage with experienced speakers, from external guests to members of the Rotary family.

ENJOY

Social/check-in events, reinforcing our club culture. We proudly claim that our fellowship is our club’s greatest asset. Board game nights are the go!

CLUB PROJECTS
To keep our members connected, even when they are unable to actively volunteer,
  • The Secretary will also produce a bi-monthly newsletter, called Rotarecall. This aims to be highlighting what we are doing and how people can get involved. 

Black Lives Matter 

Salisbury City Rotaract Club make an important statement, regarding the Black Lives Matter movement. A message about equality, equity and human rights. A message that says we are here and we stand with Indigenous People and people of colour in our community. This statement paves the way for a Cross-Year Project connecting with our community and collaborating with members of our community who are Indigenous and other people of colour. A raised fist is used as a symbol of unity and solidarity with oppressed people and been used across all of Europe since 1917 for supporting various causes​.

Let's talk about... Climate Change

Salisbury City Rotaract Club, with our friends from Salisbury Youth Council, have been working on the Let's talk about... Climate Change Youth Forum. This project involved hosting a forum in December 2021, where 30 young people from the City of Salisbury had their say about what Climate Action looks like at a local, state and federal government level. In June 2022, the team published a report and provided a deputation to Salisbury Council. You can read about the deputation, review the report and learn about the outcome below.
