In 2021, our organisation rebranded from the ‘RASV’ to ‘Melbourne Royal®’ to signify the beginning of an exciting new era for our organisation in the lead up to celebrating 175 years in 2023. The rebranding to Melbourne Royal maximises our opportunities for business growth – developing new awards, new events, new venues, new services and membership and minimises our investment on creating new brands and logos as we innovate and create programs.
