This ANZAC Day, I invite you to join the RSL in honouring all who have served our nation. There’s no greater way to honour our ANZACs – and all who followed in their footsteps – than by attending an ANZAC Day service and keeping the ANZAC spirit alive.

The Returned & Services League is committed to leading the nation in commemoration, and ANZAC Day services and events will take place across the country. As a nation, we will remember all those who have served and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

Serving your country takes courage, commitment and selflessness, and those who have put their country first must be taken care of. A significant part of the RSL’s work involves lobbying to protect the rights and benefits of past and present service members. We advocate for the needs of veterans and their families to ensure the government prioritises their wellbeing.

There are RSL sub-branches in over a thousand locations across Australia, offering a community of mateship and support and a place to connect with other veterans and veteran families. RSL State and Sub-Branches deliver a diverse range of services tailored to reflect the priorities and needs of veterans in their communities.

The RSL is working every day to improve the lives of veterans and their families. The RSL welcomes new members and invites all current and former serving ADF to join the RSL family.

Belonging to the RSL means someone always has your back. Join us and become a part of something bigger.
