About the Lodge

Duke of Sussex Lodge No. 48

No. 48 is one of approximately 240 Masonic Lodges across Victoria, and was established on the 24 of November 1865.

We meet on the 4th Monday at 7:30pm (3rd Monday in December, no meeting in January) at Freemasons Melbourne (288 Victoria Parade, East Melbourne).

As a fraternal and community-based lodge, we not only contribute to our wider community, but also experience a principled way of life that an estimated 6 million Freemasons worldwide value. As well as enjoy the social company of our fellow members and Freemasons throughout the world.
