Rotary Clubs and Districts

Interplast Australia & New Zealand is supported by Rotary Clubs and Districts throughout Australia and New Zealand.  In 2008 /09 Interplast has a District Chair in every Rotary District in Australia & New Zealand.  Over the 25 years Rotarians have been involved with Interplast they have raised nearly $4 million dollars to support Interplast medical volunteers, and many have also volunteered to be on Committees and the Board of Directors. 

Fifty-three Rotarians have accompanied teams as Observers and have returned to their Districts as worthy ambassadors of Interplast. These Rotarians are ready and willing to speak to Rotary Clubs of their experiences.

Interplast has its own Rotarians Committee to deal with the ongoing support of the District Chairs, Clubs and also advise the Executive and Board of Interplast on matters of protocol.
