COMMUNITY
Street Doctor
Street Doctor is a mobile GP clinic that aims to improve the health and wellbeing of homeless, transient, disadvantaged and marginalised people in Perth. In the past ROC has supplied Street Doctor with bags containing a pair of thongs and much-needed toiletries which were distributed to those in need. Currently we are collecting socks and blankets for winter and members are making up Christmas gift boxes containing toiletries and other personal items for distribution in December.
GreenBatch
GreenBatch is building WA's first plastic reprocessing plant, turning the PET plastic bottles we put in our recycling bins into 3D printing filament for schools to build and create with. ROC provides financial support and assists spreading awareness of GreenBatch's cause and mission.
Men's Shed
Men’s Shed is a community-based, non-profit, non-commercial organisation that is accessible to the community. Its primary activity is the provision of a safe and friendly environment where the community are able to work on meaningful projects. A major objective is to advance the well-being and health of their male members. ROC was instrumental in the foundation of the Showgrounds Community Men's Shed in Claremont.
Cans For Christmas
ROC has joined forces with other Rotary and Rotaract Clubs to collect non-perishable foods from local communities at Christmas for Foodbank. The project is comprised of 3 different phases: preparation/packing of flyers, distribution of flyers and collection of donated food. Food collected is packed into hampers and distributed to individuals and families in need.

CLUB
One in a Million
The primary focus of the One In A Million event is to recognise someone from within the community who displays “Service Above Self” and the values of Rotary through the awarding of a Paul Harris Fellow. The secondary focus is to raise funds on the night to award to a nominated charity that has limited avenues of financial support, but has a sustainable model and is delivering a service in an area of importance to the community.
Potluck Dinners
ROC Potluck Dinners are held at a Rotarian's home for members, friends and family to gather over a table of deliciousness. The idea is that everyone brings a plate to share. The fundraising comes into the event through donating what one would normally spend on a meal in a restaurant. These funds go towards a specific club project or charity nominated by the host. It is always a great event, with delicious food, good company and money in the kitty. All are welcome!
ROTARY INTERNATIONAL
