Community Outreach
Social connection is a vital aspect of maintaining a healthy life. We understand the need to meet people in their communities.
Book a call
Arrange a call backWe can connect you with groups who visit veterans and family members, especially the elderly or lonely, in their homes, hospitals, or nursing homes.
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.
