Our services - Adelaide Legacy
Adelaide Legacy provides a range of care and support services to its widow(er)s and children/youth including assistance and advice on accommodation, home maintenance and safety, 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 usually present 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 family members of the Australian Defence Force who die or are incapacitated as a result of their service are eligible to receive Legacy benefits. Widows of WWII veterans who served in Australia only are now also eligible for Legacy benefits. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Legacy Widows' Clubs | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Legacy Social Groups | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
For those Legacy widows who still want to have social interaction with other Legacy widows, but without the structure and formality of a Legacy Widows Club, an alternative is a Legacy Social Group. These Groups still provide the benefits outlined above, but without the requirement for Office Bearers, Minutes of meetings or financial reporting. There are currently only 14 such groups, but we expect the number to grow considerably over the coming years. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
