OVERVIEW

The Probus Club of Bribie Island Inc was formed in 1985 and functioned as a men’s only club until  6 September 2011 when the first women members were admitted to membership. The club took the decision due to the national move towards establishing mixed clubs (thereby enabling couples to join as members), the need to recruit younger members and to become more inclusive.The club’s membership has flourished since then, with new members joining on a regular basis.

There are still clubs in Australia that have exclusive membership of either males or females, but generally clubs are mixed clubs.
