RSA support services

The Dunedin RSA Welfare Trust offers support, advocacy, assistance and advice about the many community and social services, allowances and pensions available to service and ex- service people, police and their dependants.

A full time Support Advisor is available for guidance to determine need and, when appropriate, to help with sources of financial assistance.

Advice is available to everyone, regardless of RSA membership.

Our ex-service family can have specific needs which may not be entirely met by other services or agencies. The Trust’s Support Advisor will help with referrals to, and liaison with appropriate agencies, or applications to various trusts in New Zealand and overseas which provide funding and support, aiming to reduce hardship and suffering, for ex-service people, and their families.

For a confidential appointment with our Support Advisor phone 0800 664 888, or email welfare@dn-rsa.org.nz

Royal Commonwealth Ex-Services League (RCEL)
RCEL’s object is that no ex-serviceman or women should ever suffer hardship.

Funds are available for all eligible British ex-service people whether or not they are resident in the United Kingdom. Application for RCEL welfare assistance can be made by RNZRSA on behalf of individuals and is generally prompted by written request from the applicant made through a British ex-service organisation such as the Army Benevolent Fund. Speak to the Welfare Officers and they will advise and/or enquire on your behalf.
