Probus is a club for retired and semi-retired men.
Our Melbourne club was founded over 40 years ago for those in retirement or semi-retirement who will enjoy fellowship and a chance to enjoy a life free (or largely free) from the restraints of work.
Come and meet us and see why many men have chosen the club with the strange sounding name, PROBUS.
