The prime motivation for returned services and leagues (RSL) clubs is to provide support to veterans and their families, something Healesville RSL has a long history of doing.

For 102 years, the Healesville sub-branch has been contributing to the welfare of veterans through its charitable pursuits and commemorating their service through events like Anzac Day.

This year the club will be hosting a dawn service beginning at 5.45am followed by a traditional gunfire breakfast for a gold coin donation.

Patrons and veterans can then also attend the 9.30am march assembly to prepare for the 10am march to The Memo.

As a charity, all profits made through the RSL’s hospitality business are returned to the community of veterans through welfare support and commemorative services.

While providing help and resources to local veterans is a priority, Healesville RSL also prides itself on excellent service in the bistro and great value for money.

The member-based hospitality business aims to “provide a place where the whole community can meet and be welcomed with a family-friendly bistro and other hospitality offerings.”

Healesville RSL is located at 275 Maroondah Highway and is open Monday to Sunday 11am until late.
