Summary of activities
Melbourne Legacy is a charity providing services to Australian families suffering after the injury or death of a spouse or parent, during or after their defence force service. Melbourne Legacy cares for around 4,500 beneficiaries, with over 90% of them being elderly widows.
Melbourne Legacy is a voluntary organisation supported by veterans, servicemen and women, and volunteers drawn from all walks of life. Our support and services include the dependants of members of today's Australian Defence Force who lose their lives or their health as a result of their military service. Melbourne Legacy is dedicated to enhancing the lives and opportunities of our families through innovative and practical programs aimed at:
• the protection of individuals and families basic needs;
• advocating for their entitlements, rights and benefits;
• assisting families through bereavement; and
• helping people thrive, despite their adversity and loss.
The Melbourne Legacy volunteers act as mentors to the widows and their families and ensure Melbourne Legacy’s promise to care for the families of deceased or injured veterans is kept.
