A Voice for Veterans
RSL Australia is a leading voice for veterans (both current and former serving ADF members) and their families, working on behalf of our independent State and Territory Branches to shape policy, legislation, and the national agenda on veterans’ affairs with the Federal Government and relevant stakeholders.
RSL Australia advocates to ensure the needs of veterans and their families are met, and their voices are heard.
The RSL State, District and Sub-branches across the nation provide a broad range of welfare and wellbeing services, programs and events for current and former ADF members and their families. RSL Memberships are managed by State Branches.
