The RSL has a proud tradition of serving current and former members of the Australian Defence Forces and its allies, and through its Australia-wide network is well-placed to ensure excellence in delivery of service to those who have served their country.
With nearly 190,000 members and 1,306 Sub Branches throughout Australia the League, and its achievements, are the envy of political parties and other interest groups alike.
The Returned & Services League of Australia (RSL) is a National Organisation operating through National Headquarters, State Branches, District Boards and Sub-Branches. The RSL ideals and objectives which had characterised the initiation of the first state associations in 1916 were correlated and finally adopted, in the following form, as the aims and objectives of the League.
The Western Australia State Branch
In Western Australia the League has 6,857 Service members and 965 Affiliates that belong to a network of 130 sub-branches ranging from several thousands in the metropolitan and regional centres, to but a few in small rural areas who are determined to retain the identity of the ex-service community in their location.
