About Legacy Canberra

The Legacy Club Canberra supports the families of deceased and incapacitated veterans in the Australian Capital Territory and Yass-Boorowa district. It provides practical support by offering ongoing personal contact, understanding, peer support, social inclusion, welfare and financial assistance where necessary, advocacy and information in relation to entitlements. It also provides no-cost respite accommodation at the coast for families for a week at a time. For children and young adults up to 25 years old and in full time education, Legacy can provide assistance with education, training and tuition; outings and activities with other children in like circumstances as well as opportunities to participate in well-organised camps and expeditions. Legacy’s family focus is unique, as is the personal contact between members of Legacy (Legatees) and those they support. It is this personal contact that makes Legacy support special and rewarding for all involved. Canberra Legacy currently supports more than 750 Beneficiaries—widow(er)s, children and people living with a disability. Many of our more than 120 volunteers (40% of them are women) are veterans themselves or have a veteran in their family. Our work is funded by donations from the community. The Club is a charity registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission. Who we support.
