The RSL is a totally independent, apolitical organisation run by its members, for its members including members of the ex-service community and current serving members of the Australian Defence Force (ADF).

The RSL has recently shifted its focus towards providing vital services not only to veterans but also to the increasing number of current serving ADF personnel, both male and female in Queensland.

Did you know the RSL provides vital advocacy services and support for all current and ex-serving ADF personnel, no matter how young or old you are?

The RSL's Mission

• Assisting and caring for the sick, elderly and needy;
• Preserving the memory and records of those who served, suffered and died for the Commonwealth of Australia;
• Encouraging members of the League and citizens to serve the Nation with a spirit of self sacrifice and loyalty; and
• Nurturing of the youth of Australia to ensure that the strength, vitality and security of our Nation is preserved and enhanced. 

Why the RSL exists

Committees and office bearers are elected and organised at local levels (Sub Branches and Districts), at a State Branch level, and at National Level.

These committees exist to provide a voice to veterans and the currently serving, and to provide them with the assistance they require in accessing the welfare and entitlements they deserve.

League polices on such matters as Veterans’ needs, the national flag, Defence Force conditions of service, Defence Service homes; medical and hospital benefits; and compensation are reviewed regularly and form the basis on which the RSL voices its opinion on these and other national issues.
