The
Apex Club was founded in Geelong, Victoria on March 10 1931
during the 1930's depression.
 There
are currently 400 Chartered Clubs representing 381 Men's/Mixed
Gender clubs and 19 Women's Clubs, and 5.000 members with some
25,000 Senior Active and Life Members and approximately 310,000
past members.
The symbol
chosen for the Apex badge was an equilateral triangle: Base Citizenship,;
sides of Fellowship and Service; rising to the
Apex, the height of ambition. The rays of the rising sun symbolise
the rising generations of youth. The fourth ideal is represented
by the inclusion of the word "International".
The ideals
can be summarised by: "Apex seeks to make the ideal of
service the basic command, a means of forming friendships, to
promote understanding and citizenship and lend our neighbours
a hand."
