Banyule Veterans at Greensborough RSL Sub Branch

Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cellular phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands-free speaker function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.

MAN: "Hello"

WOMAN: "Hi Honey, it's me. Are you at the club?"

MAN: "Yes."

WOMAN: "I'm at the shops now and found this beautiful leather coat. It's only $2,000; is it OK if I buy it?"

MAN: "Sure, go ahead if you like it that much."

WOMAN: "I also stopped by the Lexus dealership and saw the new models. I saw one I really liked."

MAN: "How much?"

WOMAN: "$90,000."

MAN: "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."

WOMAN: "Great! Oh, and one more thing... I was just talking to Janie and found out that the house I wanted last year is back on the market. They're asking $980,000 for it."

MAN: "Well, then go ahead and make an offer of $900,000. They'll probably take it. If not, we can go the extra eighty-thousand if it's what you really want."

WOMAN: "OK. I'll see you later! I love you so much!"

MAN: "Bye! I love you, too."

The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are staring at him in astonishment, mouths wide open.

He turns and asks, "Anyone know whose phone this is?"

Last week we gathered to officially open the relocated Greensborough War Memorial a place of reflection, remembrance and respect for generations past and present.

The memorial stands as a tribute to the men and women who served our nation, including local servicemen like David John “Jack” Medhurst, a Greensborough boy who enlisted in the First World War and made the ultimate sacrifice near Pozieres in 1916.

Jack’s final letter home, written shortly before his death, is a powerful reminder of the courage, resilience and humanity of those who served. More than 100 years later, his story and the stories of so many others continue to live on.

Thank you to the Greensborough RSL, veterans, families and community members who gathered to mark this important occasion and ensure these stories are remembered for generations to come.

The evidence is in. Here's what Australia's landmark independent study into Middle East veterans found.

Many veterans continue to experience complex mental health conditions, chronic pain, traumatic brain injury, moral injury and challenges transitioning to civilian life. Families and carers also carry a significant, often unseen burden.

Today, RSL Australia has released the MEAO Veteran and Families Project Scoping Study – a landmark piece of research that establishes the strongest evidence base to date on the health and wellbeing of veterans who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, and their families.

The research was independently funded by the RSL, and was conducted by Gallipoli Medical Research, Griffith University, and Queensland Centre for Mental Health Research.

This study will help shape future policy, research and veteran-centred care, ensuring support is guided by evidence and the lived experiences of those who served.
