Patron of North Sydney RSL

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—I want to express my gratitude for the honour of being elected as a Patron of the North Sydney RSL Sub-Branch. As the leading advocacy service for Australian veterans, I recognise the outstanding work of the RSL in supporting veterans and their family's well-being by providing them with services and face-to-face support in mateship and camaraderie. The RSL's commitment to our Australian veterans has been possible through the network of over 320 NSW-based Sub-branches operated by veteran volunteers. RSL coordinates special commemorations such as ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day to remember their service and sacrifice for our country. I acknowledge the president of North Sydney RSL, Alex Wilson and the members of the branch for their outstanding contribution to the veteran community in allowing veterans to keep in contact with their ADF community. Again, I would like to express my gratitude for being part of the RSL Sub-branch and its importance in advocating veteran wellness and support. I look forward to working with the members in continuing to uphold the values of the branch.
