Rotary Club of North Hobart

We're Hobart locals who can't stand by while older neighbours fall, family violence survivors lose their lifeline, or good bottles go to landfill.

So we run practical, hands-on projects that fix it — Steady on Your Feet, DV Safe Phone, Recycle for Good. Last year alone we delivered 113 refurbished phones to people escaping violence and generated over $2,500 in supported employment through recycling. Whether you're under 45 and want real impact without giving up your evenings, or you've got decades of experience you're not ready to retire — there's a seat for you at the Maypole on a Tuesday.

Why People Get Involved

Whether you have an hour a month or want to take on a bigger role—there's a place for you.

Your Impact. Your Connections. Your Growth.
We aren't all about meetings and sausages — we offer an opportunity to connect with people who share your passion for creating positive change, while developing your professional skills. We are a flexible volunteer group. At its heart, Rotary is built on connection: real friendships, professional partnerships, and a shared purpose that lasts a lifetime.
We organise our work through five avenues of service — Community, International, Vocational, Club, and Youth — so you can focus your time and passion where it matters most to you. You can even bring or create your own project, provided it aligns with Rotary International's core focus areas, such as environmental sustainability, disease prevention, peacebuilding, or local economic development.
