19.01.2022 St Matthias Church WW1 Honour Roll Restoration project ensures the Veterans from this Church will be forever remembered. It was brought to us by the St Matthias Church for restoration and with support from the Queensland Government, it was made possible. This piece of memorabilia is so unique which made this project a privilege to be a part of.

13.01.2022 Hi Team, This may not apply directly to yourself however it may apply to your loved ones or friends. On 1 October 2019, the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) introduced treatment cycle arrangements for referrals from general practitioners (GPs) to allied health providers (AHP).... Are you a DVA client, GP or AHP that has transitioned to the treatment cycle arrangements? Have your say on the changes, as part of an evaluation. This survey is an important part of better understanding the needs and experiences of veterans and health professionals. Complete the confidential 10 minute survey here - https://survey.qut.edu.au/f/195211/2ad4/ If you know other veterans or health providers who have transitioned to the treatment cycle arrangements, share this link with them too!

13.01.2022 The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month - the moment the guns fell silent on the Western Front after WW1 - has become a day to remember all those who served and all those who sacrificed in wars and conflicts since. It is marked by a minute's silence in solemn ceremonies in towns and cities across Australia, and many people wear poppies on their lapels in remembrance. Our Remembrance Day service was commemorated by a large crowd consisting of Veterans, Politicians and ...the General Public. After the service, a function was held inside the Newman's room located within the club. During this function a special presentation was given to Trish Wallace on behalf of her late husband WW2 Rat of Tobruk Veteran, Gordon Wallace. Gordon being a WW2 Veteran, was awarded the Medallion that commemorated the 75th Anniversary of the end of WW2. The function then continued over refreshments where Veterans and the public could share stories and make memories. Our upcoming commemorative events for 2021 will be Tobruk Day 10th of April, Kapyong Day 24th of April and ANZAC Day 25th of April. We look forward to seeing you all commemorating with us again. Lest We Forget. Geebung RSL
