It was a pleasure to welcome The Hon. David Harris MP, NSW Minister for Veterans, and his team to RSL ANZAC Village and the Northern Beaches Veteran Wellbeing Centre today, together with Caroline Mackaness, Director from the NSW Office of Veterans Affairs.

RSL LifeCare Chair Sangeeta Venkatesan and Chief Executive Officer Drew Pearce led a tour of RSL ANZAC Village, showcasing the wide range of services and support available to veterans as their needs change over time. During the visit, Minister Harris met veterans and residents, toured accommodation and community facilities, and learned more about initiatives including Homes for Heroes, which supports veterans transitioning from homelessness into stable housing.

The visit concluded at the Northern Beaches Veteran Wellbeing Centre, where the Minister met with team members and veterans to learn more about the practical support provided through the centre, including claims and advocacy assistance, wellbeing services, and connections to the broader veteran community.

Thank you to Minister Harris for taking the time to meet with our veterans, residents and team members, and for his interest in the services that help veterans and their families thrive throughout their lives.

Our team at the RSL LifeCare Northern Beaches Veteran Wellbeing Centre attended the 9 Reg RAA & 2/17 RNSWR Community and Welfare Night this week and it was a great opportunity to connect with soldiers in a relaxed, informal setting.

The level of interest and openness from the soldiers was fantastic, and it reinforced how valuable these community-focused sessions are for strengthening support pathways.

A great night with great people, and a strong reminder of the importance of staying connected with those currently serving.

Works are underway on the permanent Hawkesbury Veteran and Family Hub. We're proud to be delivering this important project in partnership with RSL NSW, supported by the Australian and NSW Governments, to create a dedicated place where veterans and their families can access support, wellbeing services and community connections close to home.

The historic Richmond Court House is being transformed into a welcoming and accessible hub for veterans and their families, that will preserve an important local landmark while helping meet the needs of the Hawkesbury's strong veteran community.

With more than 11,000 veterans and family members in the region already supported through our temporary hub in Windsor, the new facility will expand access to advocacy, wellbeing programs, referral pathways and connection opportunities for veterans and their families.

At RSL LifeCare, we're committed to enriching the lives of veterans and their families, and we're honoured to help bring this lasting community asset to life.

We thank the Australian Government, the Australian Government Department of Veterans' Affairs, the NSW Government, the NSW Office for Veterans Affairs and RSL NSW for their partnership and shared commitment to supporting those who have served our nation.

We are grateful to the Australian Government Department of Veterans' Affairs for investing more than $152,000 in programs that will benefit veterans and families across NSW and the ACT.

The funding will help expand a range of initiatives designed to meet people where they are in their journey, including:
• Indigenous Engagement Workshops through the Shoalhaven Veteran and Family Hub
• Music-based programs for veterans in Queanbeyan
• New opportunities for veterans participating in the Homes for Heroes program
• Expanded equine-assisted activities for veterans in regional NSW
• Delivery of the Trojan's Trek wellbeing pilot through Veteran and Family Hubs in NSW

Every veteran's experience is different. That's why access to a variety of programs and services matters. Whether it's building friendships, learning new skills, reconnecting with culture, finding support during difficult times, or discovering a new sense of purpose, these initiatives help create opportunities for veterans and families to participate, grow and thrive.

We're proud to work alongside DVA and community partners to ensure veterans and families can access practical support and meaningful programs close to home.

Yesterday one of our Engagement and Community Officer's, Mitchell had the privilege of attending the Korean Veteran Day Commemorative Service. It was lovely to see the Defence community come together and remember those who served our country. The ceremony provided a thoughtful space to gather, reflect, and uphold the legacy of our Veterans.

Following the service, light refreshments were offered at the Hub. Our team take pride in being a supportive, judgement free environment for veterans, their families, and the wider community.
