BALLARAT RSL
HISTORY OF THE BALLARAT RSL
The RSL was founded in 1916 to provide comradeship and support to Australia’s veterans and their families.
That core mission has never changed but has continued to evolve to meet the needs of each generation of servicemen and women.
We are part of a branch network that covers Australia and any veteran who needs help will get it - every serving Australian Defence Force member and veteran will be warmly welcomed at their local RSL.
We advocate for the best possible conditions for our serving men and women and for those who have served the nation in the past.
We foster respect and thanks from the nation for all those who have made sacrifices in Australia’;s name and we will provide a strong voice on issues of national unity and security.
Our RSL Sub Branch offers many services to all veterans and ADF serving members and their families, including Pension advocacy, RSL Support Services – Aged Health support / Welfare, ‘Joining Forces’ - Supporting Younger Veterans program and RSL Funeral Services.
In addition to this however, we are a community organisation and our community support is wide and varied including:
Local sporting groups and clubs
Educational institutions with grants and scholarships
Emergency services with equipment and funding
Kindred Ex-service organisations
Other mainstream charities doing great work across Victoria.
