Applying for Membership

New members welcome - Apply Now

For over 140 years, The Club has brought like-minded people together, keen to meet and share their views, goals and aspirations over food and drink, in comfortable, familiar surroundings.

​

The Club is one of Adelaide’s most prestigious private clubs with a military heritage – welcoming members from around the globe, all walks of life and from both military and non-military backgrounds. Importantly service with the Australian Defence Force is not a requirement for membership.

​

Benefits of Membership

There are many benefits to membership and a myriad of ways to make the most of the Club. Enjoy exquisite food in the Colonel Downes Dining Room, relax with a drink in the Member's Bar and Lounge, or join in one of the many events, talks or lectures. Perhaps hold a business conference or a social gathering in one of our elegant private rooms and take advantage of the competitively priced accommodation and private parking.

​

Members of the Club are able to enjoy reciprocal arrangements with over 100 carefully selected clubs around the globe, so that when travelling on business or pleasure, a warm welcome and quality service can always be assured. Many of these clubs are national institutions within their own countries, providing an exclusive experience for all their visitors and members.

​

Seeking Membership

We welcome applications from private individuals and corporate bodies, who are looking for a central Adelaide home that can cater for their business, leisure and social needs.
