Service to the Community The Geelong Rotary Club is very involved in both the local community and in third world overseas countries. In conjunction with Barwon Health, Karingal and Gordon Technical College, we have completed a Health Centre in North-East Sri Lanka. In addition to this, our Club is involved in these activites:

The McKellar Centre
This is a new project which is setting about restoring an older building into 2 self-contained 1 and 2 bedroom units. These units will be available for short periods of time to relatives of patients who are undergoing rehabilitation or are in permanent care. Once completed these units will be handed over to Barwon Health for future management. |
