Merimbula RSL

The present two-storey Merimbula RSL and Services Memorial Club was opened in 1977 with further extensions in 2002. Our club renovations have given our members and guests more space, more comfort and more areas to appreciate the magnificient views of Merimbula and the waterways. The latest renovations are now finished and include a magnificient terrace, added space in the poker machine area, another function room, Terrace bar and extended kitchen.

Merimbula RSL has seen a period of rapid growth over the past few years. These changes have seen membership increase, employment of staff increase along with the gaming machines expanded. While this growth has been significant and rapid, it has not been without the hard work and contribution of staff.

We provide services to veterans such as: pensions and welfare matters in conjunction with Dept. of Veterans Affairs; advocacy services in conjunction with Veterans Review Board; funeral services and assistance; school visits by veterans; hospital and home visitation services; home help, personal care, garden and maintenance, community transport and in-home respite care (in conjunction with Dept. of Vet Affairs); fundraising for our own veterans’ distress fund.

The office is staffed 5 days per week, but in total we employ approximately 105 staff. If you have any questions or enquiries, please do not hesitate in contacting the club, and we’d be happy to discuss all the features the Merimbula RSL has to offer. Phone us during office hours on 02 6495 1502 .

The Ode of Remembrance

At 6pm each evening Club patrons and staff are asked to observe a minute’s silence during which a recording of the Ode of Remembrance is broadcast throughout the Club.

This is an ode to commemorate the Australian Servicemen and Women who tragically gave their lives whilst serving their country.

It is very important that staff show their respect by observing this silence during the Ode.
