In 1919 a group of women began the Lyceum Club in Brisbane to share and develop their interests in art, literature, music, science, education, journalism and current affairs.

The Club is apolitical and non-sectarian and allows for:

Opportunities to continue lifelong learning
Participation in special interest groups
 A varied program of lectures
Friendships engendered by sharing mutual interests
 

The Club is a member of
The Australian Association of Lyceum Clubs Incorporated (AALC)

There are Lyceum Clubs in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. Club members enjoy reciprocal privileges and in some cases, accommodation.
