President’s Update

‍

It is hard to believe it is March already! The lead up to Anzac Day is always busy, for good reason. The incredible work done across the State to ensure services are conducted to the highest standard is well underway.  

Board

The Board held its most recent meeting at the Albany RSL Sub-Branch. Several Directors, trustees and CEO travelled to Albany and were made to feel incredibly welcome. The Board approved some changes to the By-Laws to enable effective management of members that are on the unattached list. We discussed our strategy and risk appetite at length and will be in a position to commence communicating it to you all in the coming month. This meeting was followed with a forum on Saturday that was well attended from across the Great Southern. As always, the points of discussion were wide-ranging and drew attention to a few key issues that need some additional explanation.  

‍

Membership. Renewals are progressing with numerous challenges being posed by our membership system. I must highlight those individuals working to resolve issues in both the Sub-Branches and RSL WA are working incredibly hard. The system (process, rules and By-Laws, supporting IT platform) is broken and needs a reset. RSL WA is currently implementing a new membership IT platform in parallel with renewals. To address process and the IT platform implementation a Sub-Branch working group has been established. The constitution committee will also be supporting this review to recommend changes to By-Laws and constitution as needed.  

‍

IT. The challenges faced by RSL WA with respect to our IT were existential. Looking to recent examples (OPTUS and MEDIBANK) decisive action was demanded. Our decisive action protected the League, and ensured RSL WA retained the confidence of all stakeholders. However, we recognise that this has come at a cost, particularly with communications (emails). The staff of RSL WA are aware of the challenges associated with multi factor authentication and are working hard to resolve challenges. We will keep providing updates on progress and seek your continued support as we establish our new system.  

‍

Veterans Motorcycle Club (VMC) Matter

The judgment was handed down in the matter between RSL WA and the VMC, finding comprehensively in favour of RSL WA. In summary, the VMC have no legal right to be at the premises and are currently trespassing. While this is a significant step in resolving the matter, there are complex decisions ahead. Complexity in this instance is generated by three aspects: moral, resources and legal. I would like to take this opportunity to share some of my personal considerations.  

Moral. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Also, if the RSL is welcoming to all veterans, we should take all reasonable steps to not disadvantage any veteran in our community. Finally, balance must be reached between the desires of individuals and the best interest of the League.  

‍

Resources. Further actions (costs orders etc.) must not impose further strain on time of key individuals in the lead up to Anzac Day without clear benefit. Additionally, further action should have – more likely than not – positive financial outcomes for the League.  

‍

Legal. We have a very strong legal position and must use that for the benefit of the League now and for future generations. Also, we must take steps to reduce the risk of similar occurrences in the future.  

‍

The Board must act in the best interest of the League, and this responsibility remains front of mind as we bring this matter to a close. Our focus remains on supporting the community of Nollamara and, should the conditions be met, re-establishing a Nollamara Sub-Branch.  

2025 State Congress

Looking forward to congress this year, there are two aspects I wish to highlight. This year will see the first staggered elections. The State Vice President and three Director positions will be declared vacant. For those interested in nominating, the Board will be asking candidates to complete a skills self-assessment. This will be forwarded to the Nominations committee who will work with each candidate to ensure they are able to put their best ‘foot forward’, while balancing the contemporary demands as a director. I welcome questions from any prospective candidates on the demands, expectations and benefits of being a Director of RSL WA.  

It is also timely to remind Sub-Branches that motions for congress need to be submitted. Change can be triggered from any level and ideas being put forward from the membership are one key channel. Please take time to work in your Sub-Branches to submit motions for consideration.  

‍

This year is shaping up to be another busy year with progress in all areas. Thank you for all you do for our community. I look forward to catching up with many of you in the coming months.

All the best.

State President, RSL WA

CEO’s Update

‍

One key area of focus at the moment is membership renewals. As mentioned by the State President, the current system is broken. We appreciate the frustration of Sub-Branches and thank them for their patience.  

‍

Membership

‍

We need a fit-for-purpose membership system, process and procedures, supported by the By-Laws and constitution.

‍

Fortunately, we are currently in the process of implementing a new membership database system. This is part of the solution, but between now and State Congress, there will be a significant body of work undertaken to address the other critical enablers.  

‍

The renewal process will be completed by the end of April, which is roughly the same length of time it took last year. This year’s task was complicated because we are also cleansing the data to support the migration to the new membership database system.

‍

Pairing of Sub-Branches with Defence units

‍

Based on an idea from the State President, we are currently exploring developing pairing arrangements between Sub-Branches with Western Australian based ADF units or establishments. The intent is to establish a link between the RSL and current serving members, the RSL Sub-Branch could sponsor unit activities and events through the year, for example, Regimental functions or awards. It would also expose current serving members to services and support provided by the RSL.

‍

Over the coming weeks I’ll be talking to the three services about the model. If any Sub-Branches are interested and have particular units, ships or establishments in mind, please contact me.  

‍

The integrity of Australian Honours and Awards

‍

Finally, from time to time, we get complaints from veterans regarding Western Australian Police Force and Department of Fire and Emergency Services personnel wearing their agency medals or ribbons on the left hand-side.  

‍

For Australians, only Australian honours and awards, foreign awards approved by the Governor General and Imperial awards made before 1992, are to be worn on the left hand-side.

‍

Out of an abundance of caution, we sought advice from the Governor-General’s office, who confirmed that state medals and ribbons, such as those worn by WAPOL and DFES, must be worn on the right hand-side.

‍

We wrote to both Commissioners, requesting their leadership and assistance in ensuring those two organisations adhered to the Order of Wearing for Australian Honours and Awards (which is determined by the Governor-General on behalf of the Sovereign).  

‍

To be frank, we received a startling response. Both Commissioners said they were authorised to direct what their members wear (let’s leave aside the fact that neither Commissioners have any jurisdiction when it comes to the Australian Honours system) and it is what they’ve always done. Plus, it would be too expensive and inconvenient to change now.  

‍

In summary, WAPOL and DFES have set aside the Governor General’s command and vested themselves with the power to create their own Order of Wearing Honours and Awards with their self-created medals. The rules that apply to everyone else, apparently don’t apply to them.  

‍

We know there are many veterans in both organisations and many of our members have served in WAPOL or DFES. Members of both organisations can be affiliate members of the League. We value these connections, and we also know many of these members know that WAPOL and DFES’s position is wrong in law, protocol and principle.  

‍

The RSL has a responsibility to uphold the integrity of the Australian Honours and Awards system, and we will keep pointing out that our friends from WAPOL and DFES have got this one wrong.

Membership renewal update

‍

Unfortunately, the membership team are still processing 2025 renewals. The team, which consists of two dedicated staff, are working to process all existing and new memberships. Please be patient while we complete the processing of renewals.

‍

If you have received a renewal notice in the mail or email and you have already paid your membership fee to your Sub-Branch, please disregard the notice.

Membership cards will be printed and distributed following the completion of renewals. You will receive your membership cards via the mail to your registered postal address. If you have not advised of your new postal address, please email membership@rslwa.org.au.

‍

Service membership cards will display both service and member numbers, with affiliate membership cards displaying only the member number.

Membership would like to apologise for delays in returning calls or emails. The team are attempting to respond to a large number of enquiries, while continuing to process renewals.

RSL recognises ADF personnel

The following is an extract from the Albany Advertiser, published Thursday 20 February 2025. Words by Michael Tugwell (services director, Albany RSL Sub-Branch).

‍

After Albany RSL’s first Australian Defence Force 50 Year service last year, it wasn’t a surprise that the service held on Saturday at the historic Albany Forts was another success.

‍

The service’s intent is to recognise all forms of service in the ADF in the past 50 years, and was brought about by the realisation there are thousands of Australians who have served their country in countless defence roles during that period, with many receiving no recognition of their service.

‍

This year about 120 people attended the service, which was held later in the day to accommodate those travelling to Albany.  

‍

They were able to attend the twilight service and the public function and return home on Sunday, minimising the impact on their work and family life.

‍

As usual, the service was supported by all three ADF Cadet Service units based in Albany – as I commented in my role as master of ceremonies, “providing valuable ceremonial support to the ex-defence community in roles that most former serving members are no longer capable of carrying out”.

‍

Musical support was provided by the City of Albany Band and vocalist Dione Nesbitt.

‍

Additional support was provided by Radio WAN with a worldwide broadcast of the service, reporting 101,500 listeners – up some 27,500 on last year’s audience.

‍

Before the service began, the 705 Squadron Air Force Cadet Drum Corps presented a highly polished drumming display for the audience, even with their drum major unfortunately in hospital.

‍

The display met with an enthusiastic response from the service attendees.

‍

The keynote speaker Steve Edmonds, former Chief Petty Officer RAN, spoke of and provided examples of the importance of all service, making special mention of the thousands of reserve personnel who are a credible part of the ADF family.

‍

During the service, I acknowledged the financial support the Southern Ports group provided for the service, as well as catering support from Motel Le Grande for the public function held at the RSL.

‍

Albany RSL committee members are certain the message of the service will spread rapidly after hearing comments from many first-time attendees who were suitably impressed.

‍

One Vietnam veteran commented to me that Vietnam Veterans’ Day was his service, but he was very pleased to attend, and was impressed with, the ADF 50 Year service.

‍

The man also said he presumed such services were held “Australia-wide”.

‍

He was amazed to be told that they are held in Albany only, but there is confidence these will rapidly spread.

The 2025 Anzac Appeal will take place on Friday, 11 April 2025, with collections happening across the Perth CBD and in local communities. This annual event, which has been running for over 100 years, is a key opportunity to raise vital funds to support veterans and their families.

‍

RSL WA is coordinating the CBD street collection and assisting Sub-Branches across the state with their fundraising efforts. Your support ensures that we can continue providing welfare, advocacy, and other services to our WA veterans.

‍

Rosemary, the symbol of remembrance for Anzac Day

‍

Rosemary is an ancient symbol of remembrance and, traditionally, sprigs of rosemary are worn on Anzac Day. Both poppies and rosemary are symbols of remembrance and it's common to see both worn on Anzac Day, however rosemary is the traditional symbol of remembrance to wear on Anzac Day in Australia. This is because rosemary grows wild on the Gallipoli peninsula, so it has special significance to Anzac Day.

‍

It's also because the Australian Returned Soldiers and Sailors Imperial League (the forerunner to the RSL) passed a resolution to recognise the poppy as the international memorial flower to be worn on 11 November and so the poppy is formally associated with Remembrance Day.

‍

‍

‍

RSL WA Poppy Ladies seek volunteers

The RSL WA Poppy Ladies create striking art installations to honour those who lost their lives or suffered while serving in wars, conflicts and peace keeping operations. These jaw-dropping art installations featuring hand crafted poppies and drive public attention to our commemorative services and fundraising appeals.
