About

The Advance Service Clubs of Australia are dedicated to supporting local people or organizations in need of help.

Selection of recipients for support is conducted in the fairest possible manner. Adverts are inserted in local papers requesting applications for help. All applications are reviewed. No applicant may be connected with a member of the club in any manner. All applications for help which have been approved for consideration are put into a barrel. Eight applications are drawn. Nothing could be fairer and cronyism is eliminated.
