Auckland Returned and Services Association Inc

The Auckland Returned and Services Association was incorporated on 9 June 1916 by the men and women of Gallipoli to provide practical comradeship: mates helping mates. Our 105+ years mission has remained constant: the charitable support of veterans, their families and dependents both in Auckland and nationwide. We also advocate for veterans to get fair access to entitlements under the Veterans Support Act 2014 (and other government entitlement programmes like ACC).

The Auckland RSA is the guardian of the Auckland Cenotaph and plays a key role in commemoration and remembrance activities at the Cenotaph and Auckland War Memorial Museum on Anzac Day and year round.

The Auckland RSA is a founding member of the RSA Movement and engages in the activities of the RSA Movement both at a nationwide level and at the Auckland District level.

The Auckland RSA (and the related Auckland RSA Welfare Trust) can only assist veterans, their families and dependents through the generosity of the public who donate at the Annual Poppy Appeal and year round.
