REMEMBRANCE DAY
Honour. Remember. Reflect.
Each year on the 11th of November, Australians pause to honour the courage and sacrifice of those who have served and fallen in wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. Remembrance Day marks the moment the guns fell silent on the Western Front in 1918, ending the First World War — a day that has since become a time for all Australians to reflect on the price of peace and freedom.
We invite our community to gather for the Remembrance Day Service on Tuesday 11th November, commencing at 10.30am at Anzac Memorial Park, beside the Redlands RSL Sub Branch HQ, 1–11 Passage Street, Cleveland. Together, we will observe the traditional minute’s silence, lay wreaths, and pay tribute to those who served, those who returned, and those who never came home.
Before the service, we will have our monthly Veterans Cuppa at 9am in the Anzac Lounge for Redlands RSL Service members. Pre-bookings for this are essential, phone 34881199.
Following the service, all are welcome to continue the spirit of camaraderie at the Redlands RSL.
Let us stand together as a community to remember, reflect, and give thanks.
Lest we forget.
SED Report – July 2025
The last SED Meeting was held on Thursday 3rd July 2025.
The meeting was preceded by an address by invited guest speaker, Tara Hazismalis, DVA Deputy Commissioner QLD. The address included the following subjects:
- The Royal Commission
- Task Force on a Wellbeing Agency and Establishment of a Peak Body
- Recent Changes to Claims’ Lodgement with the Department
- MyService Improvements
- Prime Minister’s Veteran Employment Awards Nominations
- Korean Veterans Day
Not surprising, the subject matter sparked a lot of interest among the Delegates and generated many questions. So much so, that the address and questions consumed more than half of the total meeting time. For those interested, a full transcript of the Address and Questions, all nine pages, can be obtained by clicking here.
The meeting followed with an address by SED President Kerry Gallagher AM, who emphasised that this Council forum is to exchange information, get to know each other, understand what other Sub Branches are doing and for SED to get to know what you expect of District. He further emphasised that it is not a forum to resolve grievances which sadly occurred during the Modern Veterans’ Forum (MVF) report in his absence from the previous meeting. There is a tribunal that has been established for years to resolve differences that can’t be resolved quietly and professionally at District level.
The usual routine business consumed the remainder of the meeting.
