Members of Legacy are known as 'Legatees'; individuals who make a commitment of personal service to the dependants of those who die while serving our nation or subsequently.
Historically Legatees were returned servicemen. Today, however, membership includes any person who shares the ideals of Legacy. Sydney couple, Denise and David Bullock, became Legatees to assist others, just as they had been assisted by Legacy following the loss of their respective fathers from war-related service in the early 1950s.

Another Legatee, Middle East peacekeeping veteran, Gordon Kratzmann, says that the strength of Legacy is that Legatees work in groups within their own community advising, guiding and helping the families of colleagues who have died because of their service in the Defence Forces.

Legatees are expected to give of their time freely. In addition to assisting those in Legacy’s care, Legatees also contribute through their membership of boards of management and other committees, attendance at group activities and through their active contribution to Legacy’s fundraising activities.
