About us
30,000+ Members Australia wide including Lions, Leos and Lioness clubs, working together to make our local communities stronger.
While people often see Lions Clubs holding fundraising BBQs, there's much more to Lions than sausages and raffles. Lions Clubs are one of Australia's largest community service providers and are involved in a diverse range of exciting initiatives throughout Australian Communities.
Lions believe that making the world a better place for us and future generations starts at home in our local community. When we work together, we can achieve bigger goals.
By making our communities stronger and more liveable for everyone in them, we are all in some small way, beneficiaries of that philiosphy.
Lions Clubs International Code of Ethics
To show my faith in the worthiness of my vocation by industrious application to the end that I may merit a reputation for quality of service.
To seek success and to demand all fair remuneration or profit as my just due, but to accept no profit or success at the price of my own self-respect lost because of unfair advantage taken or because of questionable acts on my part.
To remember that in building up my business it is not necessary to tear down another’s; to be loyal to my clients or customers and true to myself.
Whenever a doubt arises as to the right or ethics of my position or action towards others, to resolve such doubt against myself.
To hold friendship as an end and not a means. To hold that true friendship exists not on account of the service performed by one to another, but that true friendship demands nothing but accepts service in the spirit in which it is given.
Always to bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my nation, my state, and my community, and to give them my unswerving loyalty in word, act, and deed. To give them freely of my time, labor and means.
