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.
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.
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 & 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.
