About Engadine RSL sub-Branch
Our Mission
Our mission is to care for veterans, ADF members and their families by fostering welfare, connection and mateship within our local community.
Since 1949, Engadine RSL sub-Branch has been committed to supporting those who have served, strengthening the Engadine veteran community, and ensuring service is met with respect, support and belonging.
Our History
Founded in 1949 by twelve local veterans, the Engadine RSL sub-Branch has grown into one of the largest sub-Branches in the Sutherland Shire, with more than 170 members.
Since conducting its first ANZAC Day Dawn Service in 1957, the sub-Branch has proudly maintained a strong commemorative role within the Engadine community, with thousands now attending the annual Dawn Service in Engadine Town Square.
Over time, the sub-Branch has expanded its commemorations to include the ANZAC Day Street March, Remembrance Day, Vietnam Veterans Day, and Middle East Area of Operations services, while continuing to support veterans and their families through welfare, connection and mateship.

The sub-Branch is led by an elected executive and supported by dedicated volunteers who bring lived service experience and a strong commitment to veterans and their families.
