Defence Minister and Dickson MP Peter Dutton says the funding – $22,273 for the Pine Rivers District RSL and $32,826 for the Samford RSL will allow the sub-branches to continue provide valuable support.

“Veterans throughout Samford Valley and the Pine Rivers area use the RSLs to receive assistance with transition support, claims and entitlements and a range of other wellbeing programs.
