The Warrnambool RSL is dedicated to supporting veterans and their families through a range of services and programs. Our mission is to ensure that those who have served our country receive the respect, care, and assistance they deserve.
We are first and foremost a ‘social enterprise’ delivering veteran welfare and we operate a commercial Club that supports these primary veteran's welfare objectives. The spirit of mateship lives here and we serve our veteran’s through camaraderie, care and commemoration
In 2017 we extended our downstairs area to provide purpose build facilities to house the South West Veterans Support Centre. This centre and our staff and volunteers provide a complete range of DVA advocacy, welfare and wellbeing services and support.
