Swiss Club of Victoria

About Swiss Club of Victoria

The Swiss Club of Victoria can look back over a century of proud tradition since its foundation in 1899. The club was established as a social club and to be the place for Swiss migrants to meet, to maintain a link with their country of origin and to foster and preserve the cultural and linguistic inheritance of Switzerland. These aims are just as valid now as they were a hundred years ago. The club is still a favourite meeting place for Swiss and friends of Switzerland alike. Guests and visitors are always welcome! The club is managed entirely by volunteers and together with its various sub-groups organise a variety of functions throughout the year, ranging from family picnics to glamorous balls. There is something for all ages, from the playgroup for pre-school children to senior members luncheons. The membership stands at around 450 with about 40% of members being of non-Swiss background. The club house is ideally situated in the heart of the Melbourne CBD. The club restaurant on the first floor is open Mon-Fri for lunch and Tue-Fri for dinner with Wed & Thur evening club nights for members, their guests and visitors to enjoy traditional Swiss food and hospitality in a unique setting. The Second Floor is where the interest groups meet. This modern and bright facility is also available for rent for private and corporate functions. The Swiss Club is based on membership, which is open to all nationalities. Membership not only entitles to benefits such as reduced restaurant prices and access to club facilities and functions at membership rates, but it is a wonderful way of meeting people, networking and making friends. Members of the committee will be happy to answer any questions.
