The Society was established as a result of the loss of the paddle steamer S.S.Yarra and its 17 man crew on 15th July, 1877, while attempting to re-enter Newcastle Harbour. Four days later, a public meeting of citizens, decided to form the Society "for the relief of the widows, orphans and others dependent upon men lost in the marine service of our coast, or elsewhere, such relief to be distributed at the discretion of the committee". The Society was instituted on 25th July, 1877, and its first meeting was held on the 27th July, 1877. The Society was formed as the National Shipwreck Relief Society of New South Wales. In 1902, His Majesty, King Edward VII gave permission for the Society to be known as the Royal Shipwreck Relief and Humane Society of New South Wales. In 1968, Her Majesty The Queen approved the change of name to the Royal Humane Society of New South Wales in common with all British Commonwealth Nations. The Society was Incorporated on 26th February 2010.
