Great news for veterans and families in the Tweed/North Coast

The Albanese Government is committed to providing the best services and supports possible for Defence personnel, veterans and families and today we’ve reached a new milestone.

More than 25,000 veterans and their families will be better off, with the Albanese Government today announcing a $5.445 million grant has been awarded to RSL LifeCare, working with RSL NSW, to establish a Veterans’ and Families’ Hub in the Tweed/North Coast region of New South Wales.

Veterans who live just over the border will also benefit as RSL LifeCare and RSL NSW have established a firm relationship with RSL Queensland to best support veterans no matter which side of the border they are on.

Following significant community consultation and demographics analysis, the services at the Tweed/North Coast Hub will focus on providing access to physical and mental health services, home care assistance, access to fee-free training, housing assistance, transition, social and family support.

The expansion of the Veterans’ and Families’ Hubs network in the Tweed/North Coast region is part of the Government’s $46.7 million commitment to deliver ten new Veterans’ and Families’ Hubs across the country.
