About Us

Our History

Doreen RSL is a traditional Sub-Branch founded in 2017 LT COL John Butler.

We are Victoria's fastest growing communitiy based Sub-Branch, with over 220 service, affiliate and social members.

We host regular functions and veteran focused events, and we advocate strongly on veteran issues. We welcome all new members.

The RSL – Supporting our community.

Many people believe that the RSL only assist veterans and their families when in need. This is most definitely our primary objective, and the RSL have been doing it since 1916.

The RSL effectively covers Australia with a network of state branches and Sub Branches and we provide support to current and former members of the defence forces including those currently deployed overseas and in particular, those wounded ior injured during service.

We provide many advocacy services to ensure our veterans get their relevant entitlements so that they can live their post-service life with dignity.
<BR In addition to this however, we are a community organisation and our community support is wide and varied including:

• Local sporting groups and clubs

• Educational institutions with grants and scholarships

• Emergency services with equipment and funding

• Health and aged care

• Kindred organisations such as Legacy

• Other mainstream charities doing great work across Victoria.
