Meet The Team
The Aussie Peace Walk is organised by a collaboration of volunteers from Rotary clubs in the Canberra region.
Behind the Scenes
“In March 2021, the Aussie Peace Walk was made possible through the collaboration of 111 volunteers from 11 Rotary clubs, two Rotaract, one Interact and one Zonta club.
Although held during the pandemic, 45 countries were represented and the event raised over $25,000 to support a vaccination program in the Pacific Islands.

To make the event even better in 2022, we’ve added four new members to the organising team. Meet the people who give up their time to make it all happen…“
