At Currumbin RSL we subscribe to the National RSL Mission, Role and Objectives Mission Statement: “To ensure that programs are in place for the well-being, care, compensation and commemoration of serving and ex-service Defence Force members.” The Veterans’ Support Centre provides professional advice and assistance to veterans, serving members, ex-members of the Defence Forces and their dependents, seeking to obtain entitlements under the Veterans’ Entitlements Act 1986 as Amended (VEA), the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act (MRCA) and the Defence Related Claims Act (DRCA). The service covers disability pensions, compensation payments, associated allowances, income support payments and medical treatment which may be available to entitled veterans, members and ex-members of the Defence Forces and their dependants. The Centre can provide limited advice to Commonwealth and Allied veterans, those veterans will normally be referred to local branches of expatriate associations who would normally have more expertise in what benefits their home country provides for its veterans.
