  About Our Probus Group. 

Our Group, Probus Warragul- Tarago, has our local Rotary club to thank for starting us off. They put much work into getting us set up and going. They saw to it that we had a good foundation committee that knew what to do. Thank You Rotary Club of Warragul.

The Probus Centre - South Pacific Inc., is dedicated to promoting the development of friendship and acquaintance and the advancement of intellectual interests of its membership throughout Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Papua New Guinea and the South Pacific Islands.

Probus originated in the UK in 1965. the first Probus Clubs were formed in New Zealand in 1974, and in Australia in 1976. Probus has filled a need for today's active retirees, so much so that the growth has been phenomenal. It is now a world-wide movement.

Probus is an association of retired and semi-retired people who join together in clubs, the basic purpose of which is to provide regular opportunities for them to keep their minds active, expand their interests and to enjoy the fellowship of new friends.

We have four PROBUS groups in Warragul and ours is known as Probus Club of Warragul-Tarago Inc.  Our Incorporation Number is A0047473C.

At our AGM 2011, we increased our membership up to a limit of 150 members from 140. Normally if you wish to join you do not have to wait too long.

You could have a look at a short video of some happy Probus people click here. Remember if you have a slow connection or computer the videos will be jumpy and keep pausing. This is called "buffering" if you have this problem. I suggest that you click on the pause button in the bottom left hand of the picture (a square with 2 vertical lines). Then go and do something for about 8 minutes. When you come back click on the arrow at the bottom left of the picture, the video should now play smoothly.
