Meet, move, make for a more connected life

RSL Rec Connect helps veterans and their families connect through a diverse calendar of recreational events.

Be it active, creative, outdoors or indoors, each Rec Connect event is designed to help participants feel happier and more connected with others.

Rec Connect events are held throughout the year, in various locations across Queensland. There’s something to suit all interests and fitness levels, and it’s a great chance to meet other veterans and their families.

I’m so grateful that I have finally found something I love to do and such a wonderful community. I encourage veterans to get out of their comfort zone and try something new. You never know where or who it might lead you to.

- Sharon,

Veteran

I really enjoy the diversity of activities on offer, the conversations, and the happiness it creates for my dad. Rec Connect gives all of us a relaxed, enjoyable way to socialise and try new activities that we mightn’t otherwise try.

- Melissa,

Daughter of veteran
