ABOUT US
RSL Tasmania has been supporting the Tasmanian Defence Family since 1917. Our mission statement is:
To support the wellbeing and betterment of our members, former and serving members of the ADF, and their dependants, with the provision of welfare and commemorative services and, where appropriate, contribute to the worthy needs within the community.
During our Governance Review in 2019, we developed a simplified Vision and Purpose. These new statements aim to provide simple direction towards our mission statement while incorporating our new role as the peak body of ex-service organisations in Tasmania. The visual below outlines these statements alongside our Values and Pillars.
