Home / What We Do

What we do

Everything we do is built on the RSL objects: caring for veterans, commemorating service, and fostering comradeship.

Poppy Day Appeal

Poppy Day

The red poppy is the enduring symbol of remembrance. Each year our Sub Branch runs the Poppy Day appeal, inviting the community to wear a poppy and give in support of those who served. Funds raised go directly towards veteran welfare — helping members and families in need with practical care and assistance.

  • Community fundraising through poppy sales and donations
  • Every contribution supports local veteran welfare
  • Keeps the tradition of remembrance alive year on year
  • Volunteers help distribute poppies across the district

Outcome: Vital funds for veteran welfare and a strong, visible act of community remembrance.

Welfare & Advocacy

Veteran welfare & support

We stand beside veterans and their families through every stage of life after service. Our volunteers and welfare network help members access the support they are entitled to — from pensions and DVA claims to health, housing and wellbeing assistance — and connect people with the right services when they need them most.

  • Welfare visits and wellbeing check-ins
  • Advocacy and guidance on pensions and entitlements
  • Support for veterans' partners, families and children
  • Referrals to health, housing and community services

Outcome: Veterans and families receive the care, advocacy and connection they have earned.

Commemoration

Remembrance & commemorative services

We host and support commemorative services that honour the service and sacrifice of Australian servicemen and women — including ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day. These solemn occasions bring our community together, and we work with local schools to help young people understand the meaning of remembrance.

  • ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day services
  • Wreath-laying and commemorative ceremonies
  • Education and engagement with local schools and youth
  • Preserving the traditions of the RSL

Outcome: Service and sacrifice are honoured, and remembrance is passed to the next generation.

Comradeship

Comradeship & community

Belonging matters. Our Sub Branch is a place where veterans and families can gather, share a yarn, and support one another. Through meetings, social events and everyday mateship, we help combat isolation and keep the bonds of service strong long after uniforms are hung up.

  • Regular Sub Branch meetings and social gatherings
  • Mateship and peer support between members
  • A welcoming community for veterans of all generations
  • Connection for families of those who served

Outcome: Stronger connections, reduced isolation, and a genuine sense of belonging.
