About Us
Lions club members are men and women who strive to make a difference in their local community as well as in communities worldwide. Their volunteer efforts go beyond the support of vision care, to addressing unmet health and education needs worldwide.
As a member of Lions Australia you will experience a number of personal benefits including leadership skills, a sense of self-worth and purpose, business skills, networking opportunities and lifelong friendships.
What we do
Lions Australia has a proud history of achievement in Disaster and Emergency Relief, Medical Research and Community Service. We were at the coalface for Cyclone Tracy, the Black Saturday bush fires and the Queensland floods.
We were involved with the development of the bionic ear and the cervical cancer vaccine Gardasil, developed by Prof Ian Frazer AC, a former Lions Medical Research Foundation Fellow. We also inspired a young Fred Hollows and continue to provide funding for a range of other research initiatives involving diabetes and autism.
We assist with local community fundraising for special causes and help with the development and building of local parks, community venues, and sporting centres.
Membership is vital to keep our Service Work going
Meeting Details

Posties from Perth visit the Childrens hospital where the $46,037 raised will be spent.
Posties from Perth visit the Children”s Hospital in Melbourne on 28.11.12 with trustee John Thorpe from Australian Lions Childhood Cancer Research Foundation (ALCCRF).
The funds we recently donated ($46,037) to the ALCCRF foundation are going to the Children”s Hospital to be put towards some of the funding needed to host a researcher for three years. Currently over the average of all cancers children suffer from 82% of childhood cancer patients recover after treatment. The hospital would obviously like to see this rate increased over time and would love to achieve 100% which is on their wish list and the wish list of ALCCRF also.
But, realistically everyone hopes that through the current research activities this recovery rate will improve over time.
