RACV history
RACV is proud of its rich history which began in December 1903 when the Club was formed at Melbourne’s Port Phillip Club Hotel.
Initially established as a motorists’ social club, RACV encouraged the development of motoring and protected the rights of motorists.
We first provided social club facilities to members in 1904 and today we are proud to have a five-star City Club, a country club at Healesville and five resorts.
Our icon is our highly valued emergency roadside assistance, first introduced in 1924. We have provided tourism advice since 1912 and insurance services since 1915.
Our commitment to the community has never faded, providing transport during the war years and still today on ANZAC day, through our community programs and the RACV Community Foundation.
Today RACV is a diverse membership organisation with 1.9 million members. What a resounding tribute to the founding members!
