**Building bright futures for veterans on the shoulders of our past**:
***
We are not who you think we are.

In mid-1915, soldiers who were injured in the landing at Gallipoli began returning home to Australia. Some of these Anzacs banded together “to lend a hand to deserving comrades who had fallen on evil days.” As the war continued ad the years progressed, this association grew to become what is today known as the RSL. For over 100 years, RSL Queensland has been there to continue its important work of helping the “sick, helpless, wounded, aged, destitute and needy” among our veteran community.

RSL Queensland is currently undergoing expansion that it has not seen since the end of World War 2. Our Veteran Services team is growing to support the increasing number of ex-service personal and their families who need our support. Our commitment to build a brighter future for Australia’s veteran community burns as bright as ever, and we are doing it in surprising and innovative ways From evidence-based interventions that make a real difference to veterans’ quality of life, to a best-in-breed tech platform that supports and enables veterans through membership, service delivery, and our Sub Branch network. Underpinned by funding from Australia’s most successful prize home lottery, our teams use their skills and experience to provide compassionate and beneficial outcomes for our veteran community.
