Supporting our veterans is crucial
In Western Australia, around 25,000 veterans, many of them young, are grappling with emerging challenges, with up to 10,000 being deployed since 1999, facing lasting impacts from high-risk environments.
The stark reality:
- Ex-serving men's suicide rate was 18% higher than other Australian men's from 2001 to 2017, with ex-serving women, close behind.
- Approximately 5.3% of Australian veterans experienced homelessness between 2001 and 2018, 1.9% higher than the general population.
- In Western Australia, the veteran unemployment rate is 30%, which is five times the civilian rate, with 19% underemployment.
As a registered charity organisation, RSL WA relies on community support to provide practical assistance. Your tax-deductible donations aid in overcoming the impact of service and transitioning to civilian life.
By becoming involved with RSL WA by raising funds through events like the ANZAC Appeal, the Poppy Appeal, or simply joining RSL WA as a member, this supports us in creating a safe place of mateship and camaraderie for veterans and their families, while helping RSL WA offer crucial services to those who’ve served our nation.
ANZAC CLub
ANZAC Club has been a vital retreat for returning veterans since the establishment of the Returned Soldiers Club House in October 1916, adjacent to the Governor's residence. The new ANZAC House Veteran Central, along with ANZAC Club, warmly welcomes ex-service members, their families, friends and the wider community to a comforting space. Our environment reflects the values of the camaraderie, high social standards, and the rich traditions of the Australian Defence Force.
