Logo for RSL DefenceCare

RSL DefenceCare is a charity and not-for-profit organisation helping current and ex-serving members of the Australian Defence Force and their families in times of crisis, injury, or illness. Our services are free of charge and include assistance with Department of Veterans' Affairs claims, advocacy at the Veterans' Review Board, counselling, support during a crisis or the death of a loved one, and financial assistance. Service men and women can return from training, war zones or other deployments with physical and mental illnesses and injuries. This can have a significant impact on family members supporting and caring for an injured or ill veteran. Some can find it difficult to transition to civilian life. Finding a new job, dealing with mental and physical injuries or worrying about finances can lead to significant stress and trauma. RSL DefenceCare’s aim is to help them and their families get through tough times and will continue helping as long as it is needed. We are always there.
