RSL and Legacy

Returned and Services League Australia

The RSL evolved as a direct result of the camaraderie, concern and mateship shown by the 'Diggers' for the welfare of their mates during and after the first world war. That ethos of compassion and service remains today the motivating influence of the League.

The RSL exists to serve the interests of its members, veterans, the ex-service community and members of the Australian Defence Force and it does this by providing welfare services, advocacy and representation, commemoration and remembrance and by acting as a respected and meaningful voice within the community.

ADCU has been a long time supporter of the RSL and each year we provide sponsorship support in a number of areas and initiatives.

In addition to this sponsorship, we support the National Congress in Canberra and various Annual State Congress events around Australia including:

• New South Wales
• Australian Capital Territory
• Victoria
• Western Australia

We also provide a range of benefits to RSL members and sub-branches including special interest rates on our term deposit accounts.

Legacy

Legacy is an independent organisation founded in 1923 by a small group of World War 1 veterans. They believed they had to accept a legacy of responsibility for the welfare of the wives and children of their comrades who were killed in war or died subsequently. Legacy also supports the dependants of today's Australia Defence Force who lose their lives as a result of service.

Each year ADCU is a Gold Sponsor for the annual Big Band Sound Concert fundraiser held in Canberra at the Royal Military College Duntroon.

This event aims to maintain and raise awareness of Legacy and helps to raise much needed funds so that they might continue their vital work.
