What does Freemasonry Offer?

An opportunity to develop socially within the philosophical principles of prudence, temperance, fortitude and justice. As well as:

• An opportunity to help others in society in a practical and structured way.
• To meet like-minded men who share similar beliefs and structure.
• The chance to socialise with other members and their families out of the Lodge environment.

Freemasonry offers an insight of knowledge and philosophy, and is one of the world's oldest and largest fraternal organisations, with some 5 million members worldwide and 13,000 in NSW and the ACT.

Who can become a Freemason? Men from all walks of life regardless of race, religion or social status who are of good character and who are 18 years old or over.
