About the Association of Italian Seniors' Social Groups

The Association of Senior Italian Citizens’ Clubs of Victoria is constituted by over 60 senior citizens’ clubs for Italian-Australians operating throughout the Melbourne and some metropolitan areas and in several regional areas, including Wangaratta, Myrtleford, Geelong, Morwell, and Wonthaggi. 

In the 1980s it was the largest Italian pensioner body in Australia. Total membership of the 97 groups was over 20,000. The Association was founded by CO.AS.IT.’s Aged Social Services Coordinator Frank Di Blasi, on 8 December 1983. Presently the presidents of the clubs meet regularly at the bi-monthly meetings of all Presidents to discuss and plan activities and or projects according to the views and needs of club members. This includes conferences on health and welfare, pensions, sporting and other socio-cultural initiatives of common interest to particular clubs, visits to historical places, the National Gallery of Victoria’s special exhibitions, concerts and theatrical performances, information seminars and special group outings. The Association operates under the auspices and financial assistance of CO.AS.IT. The objective is to provide members of all affiliated clubs assistance by referring them to social workers at CO.AS.IT. and or other local, state and federal responsible agencies for the care of the aged. Qualified guest speakers are invited to visit the clubs to give talks on a number of topics of particular interest to older Italian-Australians. The association strives to help improve the quality of life of older Italian-Australians through representation and lobbying at all levels of Government in order to give them accessibility to mainstream services and infrastructures.

The Association is based at:
CO.AS.IT.
Level 1, 189 Faraday Street
Carlton VIC 3053
Phone: (03) 9349 9000

Coordinator: Frank Di Blasi, OAM., JP.
