Our fraternity is a vibrant network of men and women dedicated to fostering fellowship and personal development while supporting our Shrine Chapters and beloved philanthropy, Shriners Children's.

In 1870, a group of 13 Masons would regularly meet at the Knickerbocker Cottage in New York City. Often, discussion turned to forming a new fraternity for Masons, based on the tenets of Freemasonry but with the added elements of fun and fellowship. Walter Fleming, M.D., and Billy Florence, an actor, were among the members of the group. Florence had been on tour in Europe and attended a party given by an Arabian diplomat. The exotic style, flavors and music of the Arabian-themed party led Florence to suggest this as the theme of the new fraternity, while Dr. Fleming and other members of the group then drafted the ritual, designed the emblem and costumes, formulated a salutation and declared that members would wear the red fez. The name of this new fraternity was the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. While the fraternity’s first official meeting was in 1871 at the Knickerbocker Cottage, a meeting in 1872 established the first chapter, Mecca Shriners, on September 26. Today, there are more than 195 chapters in countries around the world. Founded as the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, the organization has grown and evolved over the decades. In the late 1900s to early 2000s, the fraternity was referred to as Shriners of North America, given that chapters were in the U.S. and Canada. In 2010, a resolution was passed to replace the name with Shriners International, reflecting the fraternity’s worldwide presence. Founding of a Health Care System Shriners Children's From its earliest days the Shriners were known for their philanthropic efforts across the country. During a yellow fever epidemic in Jacksonville, Florida, local Shriners and Masonic Knights Templar worked long hours to help the sick. In 1889 fraternity members came to the aid of the Johnstown, Pennsylvania, flood victims. In fact, many of the chapters were involved in some sort of charitable efforts. In 1919, the Imperial Potentate Freeland Kendrick proposed establishing a hospital to provide medical care at no cost for children with orthopedic conditions. A committee explored the idea and concluded there should not be just one hospital, but instead, an entire healthcare system throughout North America that provides pediatric orthopedic medical care regardless of the families’ ability to pay. The first hospital opened in Shreveport, Louisiana, in 1922. Today, the healthcare system consists of hospitals, clinics, outpatient centers and telehealth sites. Shriners Children's specialties have expanded to burn care, spinal cord injury rehabilitation, cleft lip and palate, sports injury care and rehabilitation services.

Learn all about the Shriners on this Page. We are about Fun, Friendship, Family, and Philanthropy. Congratulations Acrux Shriners can now Walk the Red Carpet July 2025 Officially the 1st Charter Temple in Australia Our sponsoring Shrine Temple was Aahmes Shriners ( www.aahmes.org ). They are in Livermore California and were charged with overseeing the formation and running of all Shrine clubs being formed in Australia, until such time as dispensation was granted for Australia to form its first Shrine Temple, which is called “Acrux Shriners”. We thank Aahmes Shriners for their wonderful support over the years, in particular Illustrious Sir Mike Cornell and Lady Norma Cornell for their many visits and the huge support they have provided us. Shriners Australia ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/2366910170080888 ) was the governing body for all Shrine clubs in Australia, but this has now become the responsibility of Acrux Shriners (UD) (www.acruxshriners.org ). At present, we have: Brisbane Shrine Club in Queensland Hunter Valley Shrine Club in Warners Bay, NSW Melbourne Shrine Club in Victoria Perth Shrine Club in Perth, Western Australia Sydney Shrine Club in New South Wales Toowoomba Shrine Club Western Melbourne Shrine Club At the Shriners International Imperial Session, held in Reno, Nevada on 29 June to 04 July this year, a vote was taken, and approval granted, for the creation of Acrux Shriners Temple here in Australia. Acrux Shriners, Under Dispensation (UD), has been granted jurisdiction for the “Commonwealth of Australia” and is now the governing body of all Australian Shrine clubs, much like a Grand Lodge has jurisdiction over its Lodges. The Executive body of Acrux Shriners (UD) is called the “Divan ” and the details of each member can be seen on the Meet The Divan Members Page by clicking on the “Biography” button under each member’s photograph. The total number of members, currently, throughout Australia is around 220 Nobles and this is increasing at a fast pace. We are aiming to have 330+ members by the New Year, after which we will then apply to Shriners International for our full “Charter”. We need a minimum of 300 members before this can be done. All things going well, we expect to have our Charter by the first week of July in 2025 when the Imperial Session next meets. Regarding Shrine history, click here to download a pdf booklet with the background history on the foundation and philanthropy of Shrinedom in the USA. In America, Shriners Hospitals for Children is committed to providing specialised care to children with orthopaedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, cleft lip and palate, and certain other special health care needs, regardless of the families’ ability to pay. In Australia, we have the Royal Children’s Hospitals for Children, which do a marvellous job at treating children for a vast range of injuries, illnesses, and conditions. We have no desire to reinvent the wheel here in Australia. We already have wonderful hospitals that support the needs of children. In Australia, we focus on small, or boutique, charities that receive little or no government or community funding, where we can make a difference through our philanthropic and personal efforts to assist the seriously ill, injured, or incapacitated children. Shrine Clubs must comply with the constitution and rules of the Grand Lodge in their State and adhere to the tenets of Freemasonry. Each Shrine Club may determine the Children’s Charity they wish to support. The Melbourne Shrine Club was formed on 10-10-2010 by a small group of Masons who wanted to be more involved in community charities, particularly involving children. We wanted to find another avenue where we could carry out the Tenets of Freemasonry, but in a more focused and community-oriented way. As Shriners, we are adding another perspective to the way Freemasons are viewed within the community, giving us more exposure and reinforcing our philanthropic efforts while at the same time providing us with tremendous satisfaction in helping children in our communities with serious injuries, illnesses, or impairments. See Acrux Shriners U.D. of Australia has been mentioned receiving their dispensations granted in July at the 150th Imperial Session in Reno, Nevada in the Shriners International Magazine for Winter 2024 Affiliations The Acrux Temple received its dispensation on 1 July, 2024 to develop Shrinedom in Australia. We have affiliations with almost all Masonic Grand Lodges on the Continent and are proud to be attached to both Freemasonry and Shriners International.

Shriners is a part of a fraternity that was founded in 1870. We are a fraternity of men dedicated to brotherhood, fun, and philanthropic activities. One of the most iconic symbols of our fraternity is the fez. Worn by members of the Shrine, the fez is a red felt hat that is adorned with a black tassel and scimitar logo. It was chosen as our symbol by our founder. The fez is a symbol of our commitment to our international brotherhood and philanthropy. It stands out in a crowd and has become a well-known symbol that represents a true Shriner. Why Scimitar Logo? The scimitar stands for the backbone of the fraternity, its members. The two claws are for the Shriners fraternity and its philanthropy. The sphinx stands for the governing body of the Shriners. The five-pointed star represents the thousands of children helped by the philanthropy each year. The emblem also bears the phrase “Robur et Furor,” which means “Strength and Fury.” How It All Started at the Knickerbocker Cottage The Knickerbocker Cottage Story William J. Florence In 1870, there were several thousand Freemasons in Manhattan, many of whom lunched at the Knickerbocker Cottage at a special table on the second floor. There, the idea of a new fraternity for Masons, stressing fun and fellowship, was discussed. Together, Walter M. Fleming and William J. Florence established a separate fellowship to fulfill those ideals. While on tour in Marseille, Florence, an actor, was invited to a party given by an Arab diplomat. The entertainment was a musical comedy. At its conclusion, the guests became members of a secret society. Florence took notes and drawings at his initial viewing and on two other occasions, once in Algiers and once in Cairo. When he returned to New York in 1870, he showed his material to Fleming. Walter M. Fleming Fleming created the ritual, emblem, and costumes. Florence and Fleming were initiated on August 13, 1870, and they initiated 11 men on June 16, 1871. The group adopted a Middle Eastern theme and soon established a Temple, although the term Temple has now been replaced by Shrine Auditorium or Shrine Center. The first Temple established was Mecca Temple, established at the New York City Masonic Hall on September 26, 1872. Fleming was the first potentate. In 1875, there were 43 Shriners in the organization. To encourage membership, the Imperial Grand Council of the Ancient Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine for North America was created at the June 6, 1876 meeting of Mecca Temple. Fleming was elected the first imperial potentate. By 1878, there were 425 members in 13 temples in eight states, and by 1888, there were 7,210 members in 48 temples in the United States and Canada. By the Imperial Session held in Washington, D.C. in 1900, there were 55,000 members and 82 Temples.
