Our Corporate Members
Swiss Club of South Australia
In 1966 a few Swiss in Adelaide came together to found the Swiss Club of South Australia, with the aim to preserve and promote the Swiss heritage and friendship, as well encourage the goodwill between the members. The club organises many events throughout the year like a big Fondue Night and the National Day celebration.
Swiss Club of Victoria
The Swiss Club of Victoria is a piece of Switzerland in the heart of Melbourne. The club was established in 1899 to serve Swiss migrants as a place to get together, maintain a link with their homeland and to foster and preserve the cultural and linguistic inheritance of Switzerland.
The club and its interest groups – the Swiss Folk Dance Group Alpenrose, the Groupe Romand et les Bavards, the SwissKids, and the Companion Singers – organise a variety of functions for young and old throughout the year.
Swiss Society of Victoria
The Swiss Society of Victoria (SSV) was founded in 1879 to assist fellow Swiss arriving in the new country and to provide help to those experiencing hardship or financial strain. We are a non-for-profit organisation that is entirely run by volunteers and funded through membership fees, bequests, gifts and proceeds from investing its corpus – which enables us to help those who are in need.
Swiss Yodel Choir Matterhorn
The Swiss Yodel Matterhorn Choir was founded in 1969 by a few enthusiastic Swiss emigrants in Melbourne who were missing their folkloric traditions from Switzerland. The Choir aims to keep these traditions alive among the Swiss expatriates and bring them closer to a broader Australian audiences. Over the years the group has organised and taken part in many events for the Swiss community in Victoria and elsewhere.

We encourage friendly interaction with other clubs, Australians and affiliates to provide an interesting and enriched cultural experience for our members and wider Swiss community. We aim to keep Swiss traditions and culture alive in Australia and perhaps create a few of our own along the way.

They come from Switzerland or other French speaking countries, and are from all walks of life.The objective of the Cercle Romand is to establish and maintain contact amongst Swiss-French and keep the French language alive.
Swiss Folkdance Group Alpegruess
