Community and Companionship in Retirement
In today’s interconnected world, social connections are crucial, especially for retirees. Without the daily interactions that come with work, it is easy to become disconnected from the world around us.
Probus is a social network of Clubs that exist to help retirees stay engaged and connected within their local communities. Our purpose is to provide opportunities for retirees and semi-retirees to come together to make new friends and participate in a wide range of activities, designed to keep their minds and bodies active.
On the 1st of October, Probus Month celebrations, in line with the United Nations Day of Older Persons, will begin. Throughout the month of October, thousands of retirees across Australia will celebrate Community and Companionship in Probus with special morning and afternoon teas, lunches, themed parties, picnics, and so much more.
Since the establishment of the first Probus Club in Australia in 1976, Probus has helped thousands of retirees stay engaged and connected. As we reflect on our rich history, we are delighted to see so many Probus members nationwide enjoy the fun and friendship that Probus Clubs provide.
Probus Clubs are non-political and non-fundraising and offer a built-in network of like-minded individuals who are eager to share their time, experiences, and companionship. Regular meetings, birthdays and events provide ample opportunities to forge new friendships and maintain a vibrant social life, all of which contribute to a healthy and happy retirement.
If you are retired or semi-retired, there is no better time to join your local Probus Club than during Probus Month.
