Being ready for the families who need us.
Give families of veterans hope for a better future.
A donation before 30th June helps to provide the critical financial, social and mental health support to a family impacted by service.
Your gift before the end of the financial year is not only tax-deductible but helps to ensure Melbourne Legacy is there for every family in need.
A growing need, close to home
In early 2026, Legacy made accessing support easier for families of all veterans impacted adversely by their service.
Families of veterans who have lost their health or wellbeing due to service to Australia can now be more confident that they will be cared for, regardless of the nature of their service.
This means more families are reaching out to Melbourne Legacy for support.
Your impact
Your gift helps ensure families do not face the impact of service alone.
When you give today, you help:
- Provide professional, one-on-one support for families navigating grief, or trauma
- Create social connection through youth camps and community events
- Build confidence and life skills for children and young people via education grants and youth development programs
Who we help
Families like the Browne family turned to Melbourne Legacy after the sudden loss of the main income earner left them facing financial hardship and disconnection from community. Melbourne Legacy helped provide utility relief, education support, health funding and access to vital services that stabilised and re-connected the family.
