![]() Melbourne Legacy Legacy is an independent organisation of veterans, servicemen and women, and other volunteers, dedicated to the care of the dependants of those who served in war and other operational areas (including peacekeeping) and who died on service or subsequently. Legacy also supports the dependants of members of today’s Australian Defence Force who lose their lives as a result of their service. Legacy was founded in 1923 by a small group of World War I veterans. They believed they had to accept a legacy of responsibility for the welfare of the wives and children of their comrades who were killed in the war or died subsequently. Legacy services are available throughout Australia to some 126, 500 widows and 1900 children and adults with disabilities. They are provided by approximately 6,700 volunteer members (called Legatees) through 49 separate Clubs. Legacy’s services range from advice and counselling to practical assistance, including pension applications, financial assistance to those in n 9663 3564 293 Swanston St, Melbourne Melbourne, Victoria 3000 Australia Map Other Categories: Aged Care Children Disability Welfare Community Services |
