Community Development and Social Connections
The RSL in Victoria fosters a community that cares. Learn more about programs like RSL Active.
Connecting veterans and their families
At the RSL, we know the relationships forged by veterans are powerful. Service personnel and their families thrive when they feel a meaningful connection with their Defence family and wider community.
We are committed to developing spaces where conversations, stories and new ideas are encouraged, and differences are welcomed. We hope veterans and their families experience a sense of mateship and belonging that positively impacts their health, wellbeing and quality of life.
We work towards these goals through a diverse range of community development initiatives, including a strong focus on our Veteran & Family Wellbeing Hubs.
Located across Victoria, our Veteran & Family Wellbeing Hubs offer a safe and welcoming space for veterans to engage in social activities, access local services, and find support. With a wide array of events, educational programs, and support groups available, these hubs are more than just service centres. Here, veterans build lasting friendships and enjoy a sense of community.
JOIN RSL ACTIVE
We also serve our community with RSL Active, a program that supports the physical health and wellbeing of ex-servicepeople and their families.
Through RSL Active, we offer a wide range of programs and activities that support veterans to develop social networks, share ideas, tell stories, enhance support circles and improve their health – both physical and mental.
You can be a part of RSL Active even if you’re not an RSL member. The program is open to all veterans and their immediate families.
