What we do
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. Your Apex experience is as individualistic and varied as you are.
Clubs are very different: they relate to where people live, work and what interests they have. Each local Apex group gives you the chance to learn more about Australia, yourself, those in need and effective ways that you can help.
Your Apex journey can offer you leadership roles supported by top class training, fundraising efforts to create real change in the lives of others, personal development in skills like public speaking and fresh environments where new friends can be made. Are you up to it?

Apex Outback Postie Bike Ride
The Apex Outback Postie Bike Ride, held every year in early Spring, sees 100 keen riders travel 1,100 km in 4 days on their Postie Bikes through the picturesque Flinders Ranges and Outback South Australia, covering some of the toughest and most challenging off road terrain South Australia has to offer.
Riders are required to raise a minimum of $500 for the chosen charity to participate in the ride. Proceeds from the Apex Outback Postie Bike Ride are donated to
The Apex Copper Coast Retreats established by the Apex Clubs of South Australia in support of Cancer Council of SA. The physical, emotional, and financial burden of cancer can be over whelming, and extends throughout the whole family, whether it is a child or a parent with the diagnosis. The 3 bedroom retreats located at North Beach Wallaroo provide free accommodation for a week to families who are experiencing cancer. The aim is to ease the burden, and support families during this difficult time by providing a relaxing beachside holiday, enabling families during or after treatment to enjoy their time together, creating precious positive experiences and memories.
Overseas Work Party 2025 - Klang, Malaysia
Klang Special School plays a crucial role in providing education and support to students with special needs in the state of Selangor, Malaysia.
The School was built in 1987 as a joint project between Apex Club of Klang and Apex Australia.
This work party focuses on fundraising and attending the school to help carry out works. The current toilet block consists of four rooms which are for student and staff use. The current facilities are out of date, old, not fit for purpose, and are unhygienic due to the age and infrastructure in those facilities.
The renovation will include new Lighting, Fans and Switches. New plumbing, Toilets, Taps, showers and other fixtures. New Soap Dispensers, Hand Driers, Coat Hooks, Mirrors, Bins and cleaning products.
Apex Australia Day Project
The Apex Australia Day Project has been developed by the Apex National Board. Apex Clubs around Australia are typically involved in Australia Day celebrations within their own community every year in some capacity. We may be setting up the event, hosting, cooking, parking or just celebrating our National day.
We’re already involved in Australia Day so lets make the most of it! We see this as a great opportunity to speak to community members and in particular our new Australians and discuss with them the attributes of the Apex Association—think of it as a recruiting opportunity. Not only will you have new Australians who are clearly excited about joining your community, there will be other community minded people at the event that may be waiting to be asked “Have you heard about Apex?”
Gympie Music Muster
In 1982, Gympie based country music trio, the Webb Brothers, picked up a Golden Guitar for "Who Put The Roo In The Stew?" at the Tamworth Country Music Festival - a celebration was called for! After enlisting the help of the local Apex Club of Gympie (always ready for a party), a celebratory fund-raiser was held on the Webb's 100-year old property at Thornside. A ball and dinner on the Saturday night was followed by a selection of acts on the Sunday, the Muster's first Main Stage built out of bush timber and borrowed Queensland Rail tarpaulins. The showers were jam tins with holes punched into them, drophole toilets sufficed, drinking water was trucked to the site and patrons could buy a season pass for just $20. Announcers from 4KQ compered the show and SEQ Television produced a special program commemorating the event. All up $9,600 was spent on entertainment (which is about two-percent of today's budget), a couple of thousand people attended and the club generated a surplus of around $12,000 for charity. The first Muster was deemed a roaring success.
Now 32 years young and going as strong as ever, the now iconic Muster has grown each year, with all profits distributed among worthy charities, both locally and nationally. An ever-growing number of community groups are also involved in the staging of the event, and for most, it is their major fundraiser for the year. There is a real sense of community ownership in the Muster with now more than 50 local community groups involved in the event's success.
Since its inception, the Muster has raised more than $14,000,000 dollars for charities Australia-wide.
