25 years ago, Australia’s commitment to Afghanistan began with Operation Slipper. Over the next two decades, over 35,000 Australians served, many carrying the burden of that service for years after returning home.

We remember the 47 Australians whose names appear on the Roll of Honour as a result of their service in Afghanistan. Their service and sacrifice remain part of our national story, and part of the lives of those who knew and loved them.

🇦🇺 Happy Father’s Day from the RSL!

Today we recognise and celebrate all the dads, grandfathers, stepfathers, foster fathers, father figures and mentors who have made a difference in the lives of others.

We also give a special salute to our veteran fathers and their families. To the dads who served our nation, to those who continue to carry the memories and experiences of their service, and to the families who stood beside them through every posting, deployment, homecoming and challenge — thank you.

We also remember the fathers who are no longer with us. Their love, guidance, sacrifices and memories continue to live on in the families and communities they helped shape.

From all of us at the RSL, we wish everyone a very happy and meaningful Father’s Day.

🌸 Lest we forget.
🇦🇺 Happy Father’s Day!

🇦🇺 AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL FLAG DAY 🇦🇺

Today, 3 September, we recognise Australian National Flag Day, a day to reflect on the meaning and history of the flag that represents our nation.

At Bootstraps, nearly all of our volunteers have served under the Australia flag. Throughout conflicts, both at home and around the world, from generations past to those who continue to serve today, we remember the dedication, sacrifice and courage of our Australian service men and women. 🎖️

The Australian flag has been carried, flown and worn in some of the most difficult circumstances imaginable. Behind every flag is a story, of service, mateship, sacrifice, resilience and coming home.

Today, we proudly say thank you to all who have served beneath it, and we remember those who never made it home.

🇦🇺 Lest we forget. 🇦🇺
