Welcome to the Maffra Rotary Club

Maffra Rotary Club plays an important part in our community, supporting many local organisations. We are part of a network of 46,000 Rotary Clubs that are found across the world.
 
We organise the annual Rotary Club of Maffra Mardi Gras, the oldest street event in Wellington Shire. The Club is also the organising body for the local community market, Rotary Club of Maffra Community market, held on the 1st Sunday of each month, except for January. Come visit! The market is on The Island Reserve, McMahon Drive, Maffra, behind Woolworths. We also run a popular Sausage Sizzle at the front of Woolworths on the 3rd Saturday of each month, so come along for a sausage and chat with a friendly Rotarian!  Other local projects include supporting Maffra Secondary College with various programs, the Maffra Municipal Band and Maffra Community House.
 
Rotary has many interesting projects that extend past our local community. Rotary youth programs such as International Youth Exchange, Model United Nations Assembly, National Youth Science Forum have always been close to our club. The Rotary Foundation allows us to get involved with many other Rotary projects under seven areas of focus. What we can do as Rotarians is incredible and personally satisfying!
 
AUSTRALIA DAY
Posted by Claire Cochrane on May 08, 2023
Applications are now closed for nominees for Australia Day awards 2025. Start thinking about who to nominate for 2026!    The Rotary Club of Maffra and Gippsland Times Quiet Achiever Awards are for Adult over 30, Junior under 30 and a Group. 
Contact us to nominate someone from the Maffra, Bushy Park, Briagolong, Stratford, Newry, Valencia Creek, Boisdale or Tinamba areas.
 
The Rotary Club of Maffra hosts the Australia Day Celebrations in Maffra each year. A BBQ is provided, thanks to funding from Wellington Shire Council, and local Australia Day awards are presented in partnership with the local newspaper, the Gippsland Times. The Maffra Municipal Band provides musical entertainment and the National Anthem, and local guide or scout groups perform the flag raising ceremony.
Having a partnership with the Gippsland Times allows us to advertise for nominations for the awards, and we frequently have articles about the club’s activities printed in the newspaper. The partnership with the Wellington Shire is also beneficial, allowing us to apply for grants and to have local councillors coming along to give talks at events, including Australia Day. 
Australia Day in Maffra is a real community event, which brings Rotary into focus in the community in a very positive way.
The Australia Day ceremony will now be held each year at Duart Homestead, McLean St Maffra. All are welcome!
