Community Outreach
Social connection is a vital aspect of maintaining a healthy life. We understand the need to meet people in their communities.

These groups provide emotional support and company to veterans and family members who need it.
We’re also able to provide information and referrals to government, health, and welfare services.
Even if you know you need some help, but you’re not sure where to begin, get in touch with us and speak to someone.
Through our connections with RSL sub-branches, we can help to provide RSL funeral tributes or visits to widows.
