The initial meeting of Glen Waverley Combined Probus Club was held in March 2016 and the Club was incorporated on 10th June 2016.

The first Probus Club was founded by Rotary in England in 1966. Since then it has spread around the world and the first Probus Club in Australia was formed in 1976. There are now approximately 125,000 member of Probus Clubs in Australia.  

Probus Clubs do not engage in any form of fundraising. All Clubs exist simply to provide opportunities for members to enjoy social outings together and be entertained and informed through a programme of guest speakers at monthly meetings. Club meetings and activities are organised by Club members on a voluntary basis and a Management Committee is elected in March each year.
