This Legacy Week, we're doing it for the kids.
Stand beside the next generation of veteran families.
Every child deserves the opportunity to feel connected, supported, and hopeful about the future.
Legacy Week is your chance to help make that happen.
Every day, Melbourne Legacy supports children and young people whose lives have been shaped by a parent's military service. Through practical care, trusted guidance, education support, youth programs and camps, we help children build confidence, create lasting friendships, and feel part of a community that understands them.
For Will and Ella Beckwith, Legacy became a constant source of support after the loss of their father, Peter. As they grew, Legacy grew with them, providing opportunities that helped them build confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging. Today, they proudly volunteer as Legacy Youth Leaders, helping the next generation of Legacy children.
Your support helps create stories like theirs.

Fold your Legacy badge
For generations, the Legacy badge has been a symbol of community support for the families of veterans. This year, we've invited you to become part of that tradition by creating your own.
Watch the short video below to learn how to fold your Legacy Week origami badge.
Make your badge with a child, grandchild, friend or young person in your life. As you fold, share why Legacy matters and the story behind the badge Australians have proudly worn for generations. Because sometimes, the smallest actions can start the biggest conversations.
We'd love to see your finished badge!
Take a photo and share it on social media using #IStandWithLegacy to help spread the Legacy promise even further.
Every badge shared helps introduce more Australians to Legacy Week and reminds veteran families that an entire community stands beside them.
