RSL Victoria Strategic Plan 2023-2028
RSL Victoria is achieving positive organisational change through implementation of the Strategic Plan 2023 – 2028, which aims to ensure that by 2028 significant progress would have been made to the following:
Strategic Outcome 1: Strengthening Veteran Support
Growing RSL Victoria’s services and support for veterans and their families to have a consistent veteran and family wellbeing services across the state, a strengthened sense of belonging and camaraderie, partnerships that enhance pathways for veterans and their families and evaluation of our work to inform advocacy and services.
Strategic Outcome 2: Upholding Customs and Traditions
Reaffirming the RSL’s commitment to the tradition of commemoration. When achieved, this strategy will see the RSL grow the ANZAC Spirit throughout Victoria and engage younger generations on the meaning of service.
Strategic Outcome 3: Updating Structure, Governance and Membership
Modernising the governance Structures, Rules, and By-Laws to minimise complexity and administration requirements while streamlining compliance requirements needs. Piloting a model which clusters Sub-Branch operations enabling greater sharing of resources and expertise throughout the RSL in Victoria.
A key element of this will be to welcome new and existing members and provide enhanced value that will see our membership grow.
Strategic Outcome 4: Increasing our Communication and Advocacy
Ensure that the RSL in Victoria is the voice for veterans and their families of all generations in Victoria. When achieved, this strategic outcome will see the RSL in Victoria raise its voice and position itself through words and action as a relevant and forward-thinking organisation offering high-quality service delivery that adapts to the changing needs of all generations of veterans.
Strategic Outcome 5: Sustaining our Work.
Enable the greater sharing of resources and capability so we can invest in the future of RSL in Victoria. A key outcome will be to create new streams of funding and build new partnerships that will support the mission of the RSL in Victoria and ensure viability for generations to come.
The Strategic Plan 2023 – 2028 came about following extensive consultation with members, who at the 2023 State Annual Conference voted by 96% in favour to support a critical path forward for RSL Victoria to maintain a presence across the state, modernize and innovate, and reassert itself as the leading service for Victorian veterans.
