How our club is run
The Swiss Club Qld is run by volunteers, and we wouldn’t be where we are today without the help of many members who have tirelessly worked over the years to keep the club alive and flourishing. The Swiss Club Qld committee would like to express their gratitude and thanks to all volunteers, helpers and sponsors of the club. For information about the current committee see Committee.
We are always looking for committee members and volunteers. Please contact our President if you are interested to help: info@swissclubqld.org.au

History
The Swiss Society of Queensland (Swiss Club Qld) has been established in Brisbane in 1965 by a group of dedicated Swiss. The vision, passion and drive of the founders ensured that we have a club we can be very proud of.
