The Western Australia State Branch
In Western Australia the League has some 10,000 Service members and 2,500 Affiliates that belong to a network of 140 Sub Branches ranging from several thousands in the metropolitan and regional centres to but a few in small rural areas who are determined to retain the identity of the ex-service community in their location.
The WA State Branch was formed in 1916 and has, since that time, been proactive in attending to the welfare needs of all ex-service and serving personnel with a particular focus on those in need or necessitous circumstances.
The RSL has a proud tradition of serving current and former members of the Australian Defence Forces and its Allies and through its Australia wide network is well placed to ensure excellence in delivery of service to those who have served their country.
Mission Statement
To ensure that programs are in place for the well-being, care, compensation and commemoration of serving and ex-service Defence Force members and their dependants. And to promote Government and community awareness of the need for a secure, stable and progressive Australia.
Who can join the RSL?
Any person who has served in any of the Australian Defence Forces in either of two World Wars or in any theatre of conflict, or for not less than six months in the Regular or Reserve Forces of any of the countries of the Commonwealth of Nations or of the United States of America or a country not an enemy of Australia, may join.
