About the Illuminati in Australia

The name Illuminati traces back to eighteenth century Europe, to circles of scholars and reformers who argued that reason and education — not birthright — should shape society. Over two centuries the name has been attached to countless rumours. What endures is the original idea: that individuals who commit to knowledge and responsibility can make life measurably better for the people around them.

Australian members are not a separate organisation but part of the wider order, living across every state and territory. They are farmers in regional Victoria, nurses in Brisbane, engineers in Perth, teachers in Adelaide and small business owners in Sydney. There are no public meetings, robes or rituals of the kind film and television invented. Membership is a private commitment expressed through conduct.

Because so much misinformation exists online, this site exists to give Australians a plain, honest reference — and a single trusted place to begin an application.

• Pursue learning continuously and question inherited assumptions.
• Act with integrity in business, family and community life.
• Support fellow members and the communities in which they live.
• Respect the privacy of others and of the order itself.

It is not a religion and asks no one to abandon their faith. It is not a political party. It does not promise wealth, fame or supernatural power, and it never asks for a payment to begin an application. Anyone requesting money, gift cards or personal financial details in the name of the order is not acting for it.
