Lyceum Club (Australia)

The Australian Association of Lyceum Clubs, formed in 1972 from several smaller clubs, is an association for women who are dedicated to lifelong learning and social engagement. The aim of the AALC is to promote a spirit of goodwill and understanding within the Association and to enhance the enjoyment of Lyceum by providing opportunities for contact and friendship with members of other Lyceum Clubs. The first Lyceum Club was founded in London, England in 1904 by Constance Smedley.

Ethel Osborne and Janet Greig founded the first Australian of the Australian Lyceum Clubs, Lyceum Club (Melbourne) after visiting the London club in 1910, and Ethel was elected vice-president during the first meeting on 21 March 1912.
