Supporting veterans and their families in South West Sydney
RSL LifeCare is pleased to announce that we have secured the historic Bardia Barracks as the site for our Veteran and Family Hub to support veterans and their families in south west Sydney.
This Hub has been made possible thanks to a grant from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, and in partnership with RSL NSW.
The location was announced in April 2026 at an event with RSL LifeCare CEO Drew Pearce, Minister for Veterans’ Affairs and Defence Personnel The Hon Matt Keogh MP, NSW Minister for Veterans The Hon David Harris MP, local members of Parliament and local government, representatives from Landcom, Department of Veterans’ Affairs and the Office of Veterans’ Affairs, RSL NSW and its sub-Branches, local veterans and ex-service organisations.Â
The Veteran and Family Hub at Bardia Barracks is currently expected to open in late 2026. In the meantime, we encourage local veterans and their families to visit our Hawkesbury Veteran & Family Hub, located at Lower Ground Floor, 36 Argyle Street, South Windsor, NSW, is open Monday to Friday, 9.00am–5.00pm.
For RSL LifeCare, this hub is about making support easier to access, closer to home. Veteran and Family Hubs offer mental and physical health services, advocacy, and employment and housing support, so veterans and families can access practical help in one welcoming place.Â
The Bardia Barracks Hub will also feature a multipurpose hall, dedicated meeting rooms, and outdoor social and play areas designed to support community gatherings and strengthen social connection for veterans and families. It will include dedicated spaces that recognise and celebrate the site’s military history and broader heritage, providing community-focused places for visitors to reflect on its past and ongoing significance.Â
