The RSL extends its deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Warrant Officer Class Two Lachlan Muddle, a Special Air Service Regiment soldier fatally injured during a parachuting training course at Jervis Bay Airfield on 11 May 2026.

RSL National President, Peter Tinley AM, said: "Every Australian who puts on a uniform accepts a level of sacrifice that most of us will never be asked to make. WO2 Muddle was training to serve and protect our country, and that commitment deserves our deepest respect and gratitude. Our hearts are with his family, friends, and fellow soldiers at this incredibly difficult time."

One other soldier was injured in the incident but did not require hospitalisation. We wish them a full and swift recovery.

The RSL stands ready to support veterans and their families through these difficult times.

If anyone in the veteran community needs support, please reach out to Open Arms - Veterans & Families Counselling on 1800 011 046 or Lifeline crisis support on 13 11 14.

We welcome the appointment of Penny McKay as the inaugural Commissioner of the Defence and Veterans' Service Commission (DVSC). This is a historic milestone for Australia's veteran community to implement the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Su***de. Peter Tinley AM, RSL Australia National President said:
"The appointment of Penny McKay is a moment of genuine significance for every serving and ex-serving member and their family. Penny McKay has already demonstrated her commitment to this work, and the RSL looks forward to continuing to work closely with her and the Commission to drive the systemic reform our veteran community deserves."
