Apex Australia Content

Apex can sometimes be very reluctant to showcase its success or list its achievements. From time to time we will give you some success stories, some contemporary and others historical, that reflect the can do attitude of Apexians and their ability to harness community goodwill, reflect community values and challenge the status quo.

Each Apex experience is unique. Some days our volunteers may be working smart on a local project that requires a bit of hard labour and teamwork. On another occasion you might be using the latest technology to get in touch with someone across the other side of the world.

Apex is your gateway to making a difference in your community, meeting new people and making friends. Since Apex began in 1931, clubs across Australia have been transforming communities at both a grass roots level and through raising millions of dollars for causes such as the Royal Flying Doctors, Autism, Craniofacial Surgery, disadvantaged children and families affected by cancer. If you are looking to make a meaningful difference and have fun at the same time, then Apex is for you!

Apex Australia works with many corporate partners to conduct the business of the Association. These business have a long standing and professional relationship with the Association's National Board, and in many cases, some organisations were created by a need that Apex members discovered and developed in their community.

Apex Clubs serve local communities in every state across Australia, while also contributing to making a difference to larger social issues through the Association of Apex Clubs.

At Perth National Convention in 2009, the Apex delegates voted to end Apex's annual National event in favour of a formal National Convention every two years, making our Conventions 'biennial'. In 2017, the Association's National Convention will be held at Apex Camp Mudjimba on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.

Apex is authentically Australian. But it has supported initiatives in our regional neighbours for positive policy and international relations reasons. Apex is committed to promoting good citizenship across our region and our neighbours.

Apex 40 branches are generally based around a local Apex Club, District or Zone. These Branches are autonomous. Some meet monthly, others less regularly, but all with a view to maintaining and fostering friendships, and occasionally providing assistance to local Apex Clubs.

We don't seek to make Apex the story - but focus on the volunteers, causes and beneficiaries. Local, State and National Apex leaders are always keen to get their successful projects and initiatives wider recognition. Apex welcomes your feedback on our media engagement.

Our Alumni are a list of everyday Australians who have made a creditable contribution to the quality of life we enjoy today.

Over the past seven decades, Apex has chartered more than 1,000 local groups and more than 200,000 younger Australians have learnt key skills whilst making a practical contribution to the common good. Apex's three founders, Ewan Laird, Langham Proud and John Buchan were motivated by a simple creed: citizenship, fellowship and service.

The Apex Foundation improves the quality of life of Australians who have special needs. The main beneficiaries are children - Australia's future.

We have helped more than 200,000 younger Australians make a difference to their community, learn valued skills and make great friends. The Apex story is one of fun, fellowship and friendship. We offer you the opportunity to give others a fair go, practical help and positive role models to reach their own potential. Its Apex, Its Australian!
