Australian Lions Childhood Cancer Research Foundation
​The Australian Lions Childhood Cancer Research Foundation (ALCCRF) was officially established in 2009, with our prime focus being to increase childhood cancer survival rates by supporting cancer research efforts not just here in Australia, but worldwide.
The Emergency Medical Information Book Project
One of the best ‘Community Service projects’ that was started in our District is the Emergency Medical Information Book. Today the distribution Australia wide is more than 1.5 million. The benefits and success of the EMIB project attracted Lions Clubs to join us and this partnership has strengthened the distribution channels throughout Australia.
Lions Club Project
Need for Feed
Need for Feed was established back in 2006-2007 in response to what was at that time the driest period on record and what became known as the Millennium Drought. We are now recognised as the leading provider of emergency fodder at a state and national level by governments and other agencies.

Australian Lions Children's Mobility Foundation
We empower children who cannot walk without assistance to reach their potential. We do this by obtaining funding through the Lions organisation for walking devices that get kids out of their wheelchairs and on to their feet so they can walk, explore, play, work and socialise.
