Veteran Support Centre
The Warrnambool RSL has been supporting Warrnambool and District veterans and their families since its formation on 27th January 1917. Since that time our Sub Branch has provided veterans with mateship, care and commemoration.
We are first and foremost a ‘social enterprise’ delivering veteran welfare and we operate a commercial Club that supports these primary veteran's welfare objectives. The spirit of mateship lives here and we serve our veteran’s through camaraderie, care and commemoration
In 2017 we extended our downstairs area to provide purpose build facilities to house the South West Veterans Support Centre. This centre and our staff and volunteers provide a complete range of DVA advocacy, welfare and wellbeing services and support.
We are open by appointment.
