Bill was born in Penguin, Tasmania. He joined the ARA in 1960 and saw operational service in Malaya and South Vietnam. After a number of senior staff appointments Bill retired as a Lieutenant Colonel in 1990. He first joined the RSL in NSW in 1974 and transferred to Ulverstone in 1995. He was President of the Ulverstone Sub Branch from 2003-2007. Bill was elected State President in May 2009. Bill and his wife, Margaret reside in Gawler in Tasmania's north west.

Chief Executive Officer

Noeleen has been involved with the RSL in Tasmania since 1991 and has had appointments through from Sub Branch Secretary/Treasurer to Vice President on the State Executive before taking up the challenge as CEO. Noeleen's career in the military spanned some 21 years and her service in the personnel administration field was recognized in 1991 with the award of the Order of Australia (Military Division). Noeleen has one adult son.

Wayne Cargill
State Treasurer

Wayne joined the New Norfolk sub branch in January 1975 and was first elected to the committee in March 1976. He has held the positions of committee person, treasurer and honorary secretary. Wayne was awarded Life Membership of the League in March 1995. Wayne joined the Commonwealth Taxation Department in January 1965 and stayed until he took voluntary redundancy in November 2001. This is surely an excellent background for his current RSL position. Wayne attended National Service training from January 1969 until January 1971 where he served with 4th Field Regiment Royal Australian Artillery and saw service in South Vietnam. His other appointments include Honorary Auditor for the War Widows Guild and the state Ladies Women's Auxiliary. Wayne married Sue in 1976 (and boasts that he still is) and has one son.
