Tailored veteran support and services coming to Southeast NSW and the ACT

The Australian Government has awarded RSL LifeCare with a $5 million grant to establish the Queanbeyan Veterans’ and Families’ Hub. 

Today’s announcement means that veterans and families across the Southeast of NSW, the ACT and surrounding regions will soon have better access to tailored supports and services. This is a wonderful outcome for more than 26,000 current and ex-service personnel who live in these regions.

The hub will be tailored to the needs of local veterans and families and offer enhanced access to services supporting physical and mental health, wellbeing, education, skills and employment, housing and accommodation support, and more.

The Hub will connect with a number of RSL sub-branches in Queanbeyan, the ACT and surrounding regions, to provide outreach into regional areas such as Goulburn.

RSL LifeCare has significant experience in providing veteran and family services through hubs; it currently operates three self-funded hubs located in the Riverina (Wagga Wagga), Dee Why and Newcastle, as well as the Nowra Hub funded under the Veterans’ and Families’ Hub Program.

All current serving ADF members, veterans and families can access support services and activities through any Veterans’ and Families’ Hub.
