Our Services



Adelaide Legacy provides a range of care and support services to its widow(er)s and children/youth including assistance and advice on accommodation, general welfare matters and pensions, help with accessing medical and welfare services, assistance with education and life opportunities for children and youth and provides practical assistance, and financial assistance to those in need.

A Welfare Officer and a Pensions Officer are normally available to provide advice and assistance at Legacy House each day during normal business hours.

Widow(er)s and dependant children of veterans who died on operational service or subsequently, and members of the Australian Defence force who die as a result of their service are eligible to receive Legacy benefits.

Legacy Widows' Clubs
Legacy Widows’ Clubs support widows by facilitating comradeship, combating loneliness and fostering a spirit of self help under the umbrella of Legacy. Approximately 25% of our widows are members of the 55 Legacy Widows’ Clubs located throughout SA and Broken Hill. These Clubs provide a most important service to our widows and a very valuable level of support to Legacy activities.

The Clubs are run by the widows themselves but come under the umbrella of Adelaide Legacy and operate under a Constitution issued by Legacy. Each is supported as necessary and assisted by their Legatee Liaison Officer.
