The veteran community in Sydney’s west is on track to receive additional supports, as the Australian Government moves one step closer to delivering a unique Veterans’ and Families’ Hub network, spanning across the Hawkesbury and down to South Western Sydney.
RSL LifeCare Veteran Services in partnership with RSL NSW will be funded to develop a business case setting out how the Hub network would be established and managed across Sydney’s west.
The business case will outline the proposal for a ‘hub and spoke’ network stretching from the Hawkesbury Region in the North West, across to Ingleburn in the South West, providing flexible and innovative care solutions for as many veterans and their families in Sydney’s west as possible.
Veterans’ and Families’ Hubs provide access to important veteran services, which may include mental and physical health services, wellbeing support, advocacy, employment and housing advice, and social connection. Services within each Hub are tailored to local community needs.
RSL LifeCare Veteran Services currently operate a Hub in Nowra that was funded under the Veterans’ and Families’ Hubs program. They also run self-funded Hubs in Wagga Wagga, Dee Why and Newcastle.
