Probus South Pacific Limited

In 1981, the Governors of Rotary districts in Australia and New Zealand established the Probus Centre - South Pacific Inc. as a community service activity of Rotary clubs and encouraged Rotary clubs to sponsor the establishment of Probus clubs throughout the region.

Probus Centre - South Pacific Inc. made application in May 2011 to become  a Company Limited by Guarantee under the Corporations Act; in August 2011 Probus South Pacific Limited (PSPL) registration was accepted by the Australian Securities Investments Commission (ASIC).

In February 2013 Probus South Pacific Limited adopted a new Constitution which had been developed in consultation with representatives from the Rotary Council of Governors; Probus South Pacific Limited has registered the new constitution with the Australian Securities Investments Commission (ASIC). 

Call for Nominations for the PSPL Board

Each year PSPL seeks nominations from Probus Club members to serve on the PSPL Board and PSPL Nominating Selection Committees. 

PSPL is calling for nominations from Probus Clubs to fill the vacancy of Representative Member/Director for South Australia/Northern Territory.  This role is currently being served by Representative Member/Director David Simpson whose term ends in August 2021. The term of office for the successful candidate would be from August 2021 to August 2024.

To be eligible to nominate for the role of Representative Member/Director, a nominee must be a current member of an accredited Probus Club in either South Australia or Northern Territory and have at least 12 months’ experience serving on a Probus Club Management Committee.

Nominations must be proposed and seconded in writing, via the official Nomination Form, by the President and Secretary of the nominee’s Probus Club.  If the nominee is currently a President or Secretary of their Club, another member of the Management Committee must propose or second the nomination.

Members who meet the criteria and, particularly those who also have business experience in finance, accounting, communications or marketing or as a company director are urged to consider nomination by their Probus Club. Given the large proportion of female Probians, we also strongly encourage female members that meet the criteria to consider nominating.

Call for Nominations for the Nominating Selection Committee

PSPL is also seeking two nominations from Probus Club members in South Australia or Northern Territory to serve on the Nominating Selection Committee (NSC).

The NSC is responsible for interviewing and assessing the nominees to determine their suitability to serve on the PSPL Board. These interviews will be conducted in South Australia either in person or via technological means. PSPL will reimburse all reasonable travel and accommodation costs for NSC members.

The NSC is comprised of the PSPL Chairman, Vice Chairman, two Rotary Representatives and two Probus Club members from either South Australia or Northern Territory. Nominations must be proposed and seconded in writing, via the official Nomination Form, by the President and Secretary of the nominee’s Probus Club.

The closing date for applications by your Probus Club for the PSPL Board and/or the NSC is no later than 5.00 pm on 30 April 2021. Applications must be received by the CEO in Parramatta, NSW, Australia by 5.00 pm AEDT on 30 April 2021 by post to PO Box 1294 Parramatta NSW 2124 or by email to [email protected]

If your Club would like to propose a member and requires a nomination form or needs further information, please feel free to contact us on 1300 630 488.
