Geelong RSL veterans services

Our RSL has a rich history of providing veteran services to Geelong’s service men and women over the last Century, providing them with ongoing support and place where they are welcomed and appreciated.

The Geelong RSL sub branch welcomes all members of the Australian Defence Force and police forces who have served in United Nations operations. We offer support, welfare and camaraderie to you all, as well as to war widows and children of veterans. Our resources include links to veterans’ resources, an assortment of contacts, information about volunteering and welfare services.

With a beautiful renovated venue including some of the best bistro dining in Geelong, function rooms, children’s play area and much more, the Geelong RSL is a home away from home for all members of the veteran community. We promote a fun, welcoming environment where you can be certain of a great meal, the events and entertainment for which Geelong RSL club is famous, terrific atmosphere and company of all ages. We even offer sporting opportunities with our bowls club and golf club.

Our sub branch is run by an operations team and supported by a committee of ex-serving men and women who collectively have served in nearly all conflicts post World War Two up to our current operations.
