RSL Clubs in their various forms (Diggers, Legion, ANZAC, Soldiers, Memorial, SS&A and more), were created in communities across Australia to provide a venue for current and ex-serve personnel and their families to enjoy a safe and comfortable place to gather, enjoy each other’s company and share a meal and drink. These Clubs also serve as a place of remembrance for the contribution and sacrifice of all Australia Defence personnel.
RSL and Services Clubs Association supports Disaster Relief Australia (DRA) by providing on-the-ground assistance for volunteers as well as access to temporary facilities during relief operations across Australia. RSL Clubs have also raised significant funds to support DRA Operations and Appeals.
