AQUABOX: Has been a long running club project.  It provides emergency relief packs that not only provide essential provisions but also gives recipients access to clean drinking water something they often need more than food. Aquaboxes are distributed both nationally and around the world in response to need  following a natural disaster (eg cyclones, droughts or tsunami).  

ELTHAM FESTIVAL: The Eltham Festival is a community festival held in Alistair Knox Park Eltham every November.
The Festival gives the opportunity to achieve 3 objectives: to showcase Rotary, in Eltham and surrounding areas; to encourage membership to the Club; and to raise funds for the club to use in community projects throughout the year.
It is expected members commit to assist on the day with the organization.  The spouses of members also have a role on the day and it is a great opportunity to meet and  further friendships within  the club.

ELTHAM IDOL: Young local singers have the opportunity to compete in a singing competition for Under 15’s and Under 21’s which is held in conjunction with the Eltham Festival.  It gives them an opportunity to develop and perform.

SPONSORSHIP: Eltham has sponsored the establishment of the Kinglake Ranges Rotary Club, as well as the Interactor Club at the Montmorency Secondary College and along with Greensborough and  Diamond Creek Rotary Clubs established and support the Diamond Valley Rotaractors Club.

COMMUNITY PROJECTS:  These can be various and either hands on or provision of funds.  The club receives a lot of requests for  assistance and decisions as to what projects are accepted are undertaken by the Board.  Examples of projects the Rotary Club of Eltham has     undertaken are building pathways for disabled access, medical equipment, help clean up after natural disasters – bushfires and floods, assist other community groups, school student job interview and resume writing assistance.

INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS: Members have been involved in a number of International projects which include Rotahomes in Fiji,  development of access to fresh spring water in Uganda, rebuilding of  infrastructure in other countries such as Timor and India.  Also the club has a major project where it supplies Aquaboxes to countries in times of flood,  tsunamis or earthquakes so that clean drinking water can be provided to communities, villages, or towns.
