For 125 years, The Women’s Club has united women of intellect, leadership and purpose - women who contribute meaningfully to conversation, culture and community.

To honour this significant milestone, we are pleased to open a special March intake as part of our 100 Members for 125 Years initiative, welcoming the next generation of women to shape the Club’s future.

From 1–31 March, the entrance contribution has been set at $500 (normally $2,000) as part of this milestone intake.

We invite you to apply for membership with the core purpose of appreciating and celebrating women’s contributions to the arts, the sciences, and public affairs. By becoming a member, you are joining our story and playing a pivotal role in empowering and advancing women.

Enjoy the fellowship of like-minded women, expand your connections, and strengthen your social, intellectual, and creative well-being by submitting your nomination for membership today. Immerse yourself in cultural and artistic experiences in a serene and secure space. We look forward to welcoming you into The Women's Club.
