RSL Woden Valley and Veterans Support Centre
RSL Woden Valley Sub Branch
We organise the very popular annual ANZAC and Peace Ceremony at Eddison Park each year with its associated ANZAC Essay Competition for primary schools in the greater Woden area.
Our Entitlement and Advocacy (E&A) services formed the basis of the E&A capability of the RSL ACT Branch Veterans Support Centre (VSC). Our Sub-Branch is co-located and liaises with the VSC team of more than 20 highly trained advocates and entitlements/pension officers. We liaise with Federal and ACT agencies, organisations and other ex-service organisations to help provide welfare services.
Hospital Visiting: Every Thursday one or two volunteers visit each of the three southern hospitals, Canberra, John James Memorial and Canberra Capital Private. They aim to visit every veteran, RSL member and Legacy widow and widowers. Please contact the Veterans Liaison Officer if you are hospitalised at any of these hospitals.
Hospice Visiting: Visits can be arranged for Sub-Branch members in Clare Holland House.
Christmas Visits: In December each year, all Sub-Branch members 80 years of age and over, and all Sub-Branch widows and widowers receive a home visit and a gift.
Health and Fitness Programs. Gym attendance by arrangement with the Southern Cross Health Club gym.
Eddison Day Club. Sponsored by the Sub-Branch, the Day Club caters for retired members, their spouses, widows, widowers and the general community. It meets every Friday from 10:00am to 2:00pm (except Good Friday) from mid-January to mid-December at the Irish Club, Parkinson Street, Weston.
