ADVOCACY

The Darwin RSL Sub-Branch is committed to providing well-being and advocacy services to serving and ex-service persons and their dependents.

We act as an effective lobby group to Government and encourage fellowship and mateship for members of the League.

A range of assistance is available for Department of Veterans’ Affairs issues. Our advocates advise personnel and their dependants on the lodgement of appeals to the Veterans’ Review Board and the Administrative Appeals Tribunal.

They also present cases on behalf of personnel and their dependants. They assist personnel in applying for DVA pensions, military compensation, benefits and income supplementation.

They are able to assist all Ex-Service personnel and their partners in the preparation and submission of claims for allowances and entitlements. They will also assist in the appeal process if required.
