November 11th 2023 Organised by RSL LifeCare Veteran Services

The inaugural Poppy Ball will be held in Sydney on Saturday 11 November 2023.

Drawing on the significance of the poppy in our nation’s military history, the Poppy Ball is a fundraising gala event, with all proceeds going to support our services for veterans and their families.

Guests will enjoy a three-course meal and beverages, live entertainment, silent and live auctions and a special defence ‘Ceremonial Sunset’ on the HMAS Adelaide (III). The hanger of the ship will be transformed into a stunning event space catering for a 400-guest black tie event.

This will be a sensational event and a truly unique experience, raising money for a very serious cause – to support Australian veterans and their families by providing practical support services and wellbeing programs that are veteran-centric and recovery focused.

All tickets are SOLD OUT, however you can still support veterans and their families by purchasing a tax deductible ‘Seat of Support’ for $100.   We’ll save you a virtual seat, and your generous donation will be acknowledged at the Poppy Ball.   

Funds raised at the Poppy Ball will go towards providing key services for veterans and their families, to help them transition from service life into civilian life.  Services include career transition support, counselling, financial assistance, DVA application assistsance, housing support, wellbeing services and more.
