A short history of Probus

 

Probus clubs owe their existence to Rotary, after Rotarians foresaw the need to provide a meeting point for fellowship for men who had retired.

 

The first Probus clubs - "pro" from professional and "bus" from business - were  formed in England in the 1960s. Probus was adopted by the Council of Rotary International in Britain as a community service project. Probus reached Australia in 1976, so we and the other 110,000 members of 1,400 clubs in Australia are celebrating Probus' 50 years in 2026.

The Probus Club of Turramurra Inc was formed in 1995 and had 49 Foundation Members. In 2022 Turramurra Probus changed from a men's club to a club for both men and women. We now have about 100 members of which 36 are women.
