Welcome to the Hub

RSL Queensland’s mission is to provide care, commemoration, and camaraderie to enable veterans and their families to live with dignity and respect. RSL Queensland offers practical support, assistance, advice and social connection to veterans, Australian Defence Force members, and their families. As part of this service commitment, RSL Queensland established a network of Veteran & Family Wellbeing Centres that are located across Queensland and the Northern Territory.   The Ipswich Veteran & Family Wellbeing Centre is part of this network and enables RSL Queensland to co-locate the clinical and non-clinical services delivered by RSL Queensland alongside other community and health services important to the veteran community.

A holistic approach to supporting veterans and families of veterans

The RSL Queensland Veteran & Family Wellbeing Centre Ipswich is dedicated to improving the lives of current and former Australian Defence Force members and their families.

The centre provides essential services and community support for veterans and their families through integrated access to a range of services provided by RSL Queensland with clinical services delivered through Mates4Mates, as well as providing connection to wider health and community services. Currently the service offering spans mental and physical health services, vocational services, DVA Claims and social connection. The hub also provides clinically led service navigation support/case management for those with complex wellbeing needs.

Through co located services, strong local partnerships, and a welcoming, on clinical environment, the hub improves service coordination, reduces access barriers, and strengthens wellbeing, connection, and resilience within the Ipswich veteran community.
