The Rotary Club of Wynnum and Manly has members from many of Brisbane Bayside's businesses and government organisations.
We share a passion for making a difference to local, national and international communities.
For over 40 years, the iconic Santas have been a much-loved part of Christmas across Wynnum and Manly. Coordinated by the Rotary Club of Wynnum and Manly for the past 28 years, the Santa Project continues thanks to the dedication of our volunteers, who work behind the scenes to refurbish, install and maintain the Santas each year. In 2025, a small number of Santas were refreshed and installed by our volunteer teams, helping to keep this cherished Bayside tradition alive.
The Rotary Club of Wynnum and Manly is proud to host its International Women’s Day Breakfast again in 2026.
The 2026 International Women’s Day theme, “Give to Gain,” invites us to reflect on how contribution, generosity, and purpose can drive both personal and collective success. This year’s guest speaker, Alison “Ali” Maher, powerfully embodies this theme through her achievements in ultra-distance triathlon and her success in business. Read on to learn more about our fabulous guest speaker, Ali.

Say "NO" to domestic violence! The Rotary Club of Wynnum and Manly is holding a Walk against Domestic Violence again this year. Please join us on the Wynnum/Manly foreshore on Sunday 7 December.
The Rotary Club of Wynnum and Manly has recently completed two major community projects thanks to District Grants from The Rotary Foundation and Rotary District 9620 — supporting H.E.A.R.T with much-needed property upgrades and assisting Bulloo Shire with essential safety equipment following the 2025 floods.
Have you seen our purple shirts around Wynnum and Manly on Friday mornings? The Rotary Club of Wynnum and Manly meet weekly for coffee on Fridays to support local cafes. Members wear bright purple shirts emblazoned with ‘Say No to Family and Domestic Violence". The reason for this it to start conversations and get people thinking about how they can be part of the solution. Fostering healthy and respectful relationships is just the starting point. We are honoured Kara Cook MP, our local federal member spoke of our efforts in a recent speech to parliament. Thank you Kara Cook for the support. Watch what she had to say to parliament here. If you'd like to join us in purple one Friday morning, we'd love that. Please contact Les Louis for more information.
