During a late-night conversation in 1903 with a tipple (or two) in hand, a seedling idea was formed among like-minded innovators to form The Brisbane Club. This idea continued to flourish across generations to form the branches of Our Club’s formidable networks today. Across generations of social and political evolution, the common thread throughout the many decades of Our Club has been Our Members' eternal sense of optimism. We have always remained one step (or usually more) ahead of our counterparts, always at the forefront of social change. To this day, we proactively promote diversity in all its forms, always challenging the norm, to ensure we continue to be relevant by welcoming the most progressive thought leaders of each generation. The key to our success over the decades has been our ability to operate with agility, reflect the changing values of our community, and adapt to the changing interests of Our Members.
