How Auxiliaries foster community through social events
History of the RSL NSW Auxiliaries
 |
The Australian Imperial Service of Women’s Auxiliary was formed in Phillip Street, Sydney by mothers, wives, widows, sisters, daughters and aunts of men who served in the Australian Imperial Forces in the First World War (1914-1918).
The Auxiliaries grew from this beginning to raise money for the welfare of men and women who served and their widows and families. In 2019, RSL NSW adopted a new constitution which allowed for the first time, members of the Auxiliary network to enjoy formal membership of the League. The word ‘women’ was removed from the name of the Auxiliaries, which opened membership to any person seeking to advance and support the charitable objects of our sub-Branches. Today, the RSL NSW Auxiliary volunteers have overcome society biases and comprise of men and women who work to raise funds for the wellbeing of current and ex-serving members of the ADF and their families. |
