Legacy – a Centenary of Service to veterans’ families

For 100 years, Legacy has stood proudly as the only veteran service organisation in Australia dedicated solely to the care and support of our veterans’ families. Over 40 Legacy Clubs across Australia work to ensure our families receive the support they deserve.

Legacy will be commemorating its centenary with The Legacy Centenary Torch Relay 2023, presented by Defence Health, marking 100 years of service to veterans’ families.

Beginning in Pozieres, France on Sunday April 23, 2023, the Centenary Torch will travel around the world, stopping at all 45 Legacy Clubs. Contact your local Legacy Club for details of Torch Relay activities in your area.

The Legacy Centenary Torch Relay culminates in Melbourne on 13 October in a commemoration ceremony at the Shrine of Remembrance. For more information on the Torch Relay visit www.legacytorchrelay.com.au

In addition to the Torch Relay, the Royal Australian Mint and Australia Post are commemorating Legacy’s centenary through the issue of a limited edition $1 coin and a postage stamp, commemorative pack and first day cover. A flowering grevillea – ‘Grevillea LegacyFlame’ –will also be available at Bunnings and some local nurseries.

Legacy’s Centenary of Service provides an opportunity for Australians to reflect on the sacrifices made by the families of veterans and the invaluable contributions of volunteer Legatees and donors who make Legacy’s work possible.
