READY AND WILLING TO HELP

Navigating the complex legislation that deals with veterans’ entitlements can be challenging — and
that’s where the volunteers from the Shepparton RSL Veterans Centre* can help.

The dedicated team operates autonomously from the Shepparton RSL, but receives valuable financial support from the club to carry out this important work.

Liaising primarily with the Department of Defence and Department of Veterans Affairs, the team can assist with accessing service and medical records, obtain documentation and process claims.

If you are unsure of what you may be entitled to, the team can help with almost anything from claiming for injury or illness that happened during your time in the defence force, to assisting partners of deceased veterans to access pensions, 

The centre is building relationships with a team of psychologists and medical professionals to support veterans, and can organise DVA doctors to liaise directly with veterans’ local doctors to work through cumbersome paperwork.

Veterans within a 150 km radius of Shepparton — including those living in Mansfield, Tocumwal, Benalla, Yea and Rochester — access the services the centre offers.

The offices of the Shepparton RSL Veterans Centre are now located at 92 Wyndham Street in  a new building that is part of Stage 1 of the Sub Branch’s renovation. Ph 5831 7220 or email info@gvveterans.com.au
