Established in 1878, The Australian Club is one of nine clubs founded in Melbourne by English settlers in the 19th century. The Australian Club has a rich history and was originally founded as a venue for Melbourne and Victorian businessmen to lodge and associate.

Today, The Australian Club still serves as a destination for those looking to escape the strain of modern life, and relax in an inviting and friendly atmosphere. All the original architecture remains intact, showing the club's true 19th century Victorian origins. Although many of the rules of the club have changed over the years, it still retains its tradition and prosperity as one of Melbourne's finest clubs.

Today, members bring both male and female guests into the Club to enjoy not only its special surroundings, but also its fine cuisine and attentive service.
