LOCAL LIFE
Probus celebrates 50 years of
connection in Australia
Kellyville Combined Probus Club is celebrating eight years of bringing locals together, while also marking a major national milestone in 2026— 50 years of Probus in Australia.
Founded in 1976, Probus has grown into a thriving network of social clubs designed to keep retirees and semi-retirees active, engaged and connected. Today, the organisation boasts more than 90,000 members across 1,300 clubs nationwide, with each club reflecting the unique spirit of its local community.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary, Kellyville Combined Probus Club recently hosted a relaxed Wine and Cheese Night in February, giving members the chance to come together and celebrate the friendships at the heart of the group.
“ Probus is all about friendship and staying connected,” said Club President Faye Brown.“ Our club provides a welcoming space where people can meet new friends, stay active and enjoy being part of their local community.”
The value of Probus has been widely recognised, with support from all levels of government and acknowledgement from the Governor-General for the important role it plays in enhancing the lives of older Australians.
Run entirely by its members, each Probus club offers a variety of activities
