RSL Victoria Statement on Mentone RSL Sub-Branch

RSL Victoria State Branch advises that the Committee of the Mentone RSL Sub-Branch Inc. made the decision to enter voluntary administration on Friday 5 December 2025.

The State Branch recognises the difficulty of this decision but supports this action and will continue to offer support to the Sub-Branch as it goes through this process.
RSL Victoria has been working with the Mentone RSL Sub-Branch committee over recent months to navigate through financial and governance challenges.

The current Committee of Mentone RSL Sub-Branch has recognised these issues and decided on this course of action as the responsible and transparent to deal with them.

The Sub-Branch’s hospitality operations have been closed since 5 November 2025, and the administrator has assumed responsibility over the business on their appointment.

The administrator and Trustee of the Patriotic Fund will explore all options around the ongoing sustainability of the Sub-Branch and the venue.

The ability to provide support services to veterans, remains the priority for Mentone RSL and RSL Victoria as it awaits further information from the administrator.

In the interim, assistance will be provided by the Mentone RSL Sub-Branch Committee, who can be contacted via se*******@************om.au.

Veterans requiring immediate mental health support can contact Open Arms on 1800 011 046.
