The Naval Officers Club was founded in 1946 with the aim of perpetuating the camaraderie and fellowship which the war years had engendered amongst naval officers. The objectives of the club remain unchanged – to preserve and stimulate the spirit of comradeship that has been engendered among naval officers by their close association with the Service and, for this purpose, to arrange periodical member reunions. At the 2024 AGM it was determined to change the name to The Naval Officers Association of Australia.

The Association has a membership in excess of 600, largely made up of former officers who are employed in industry or are retired. With active constituencies in all states and territories except NT, the Association fosters a range of social activities as well as facilitating other communications of interest to members. The Association’s objectives are achieved by:

• Communication with and networking among members using digital and print communications media and social networks
• Publication of a Membership Directory
• Publication and distribution of a quarterly newsletter
• Establishment and maintenance of an Association website
• Periodical reunions of members, both as separate Association events and in conjunction with other like-minded ex-service associations and organisations, as well as visits to ships and establishments
