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.
DRA has established ongoing agreements with RSL and Services Clubs Association in New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia who have provided numerous opportunities to assist Australia’s ever-increasing number of disaster-hit communities. Through access to each RSL’s valuable and dedicated veteran membership base, our partnerships offer an ideal opportunity to connect RSL members with an organisation that truly understands the unique skills of veterans.
