ABOUT US

For over 70 years, The Croatian Club Adelaide Inc. – The Dom – has been a home away from home for the Croatians of Adelaide. A place to socialise, sing, dance, learn and play. Established in 1950 by Croatian immigrants new to South Australia as a not-for-profit organisation, the Club has grown and expanded from humble beginnings, holding dances and fundraisers at various venues around Adelaide, to the purchase of the old Salvation Army Citadel in Bowden and the building of the current venue in Brompton. This journey, from a small gathering to a thriving community hub, is a testament to the dedication and spirit of our members. Various Croatian cultural associations, including Soccer, HFS Lenek, Katarina Zrinski, Hrvatska Škola,

as well as different political parties and associations (past and present), have all contributed to the evolution of our home base and

our growing community.

OUR COMMUNITY

As the heart of Croatian culture in South Australia, The Croatian Club is dedicated to preserving Croatian cultural heritage, traditions, customs, and language in Australia. This commitment is for the benefit of all 'Croat Australians, their friends and the broader community in which we reside. The Dom has always celebrated cultural diversity and, as such, warmly welcomes all those who wish to share and enjoy our unique heritage. So join us for dinner on a Friday night, a fundraising lunch on a Sunday, a game of bocce, or any of our upcoming events. Better yet, get involved with one of our cultural associations, such as folklore dancing, language school or the women’s auxiliary group. Everyone is welcome at The Croatian Club Adelaide.

OUR VISION

The Dom is the heart of Croatian culture in South Australia. It is not just a club, but a guardian of our rich cultural heritage, traditions, customs, and language. Our commitment to preserving these aspects of our identity is for the benefit of all Croat Australians and their friends, promoting social inclusion and a sense of belonging. This is our vision, and we invite you to be a part of it.
