Melbourne Legacy - Legacy

   
Legacy is a charity providing services to Australian families suffering financially and socially after the death of a spouse or parent, during or after their defence force service. At Melbourne Legacy we currently care for more than 18,500 widows and 350 dependants of the 100,000 widows and 1900 children and disabled dependants throughout Australia.

This year Legacy celebrates 90 years of caring for families who have been left behind.

Legacy has lost touch with many children, or former Junior Legatees, that they have assisted.

Legacy wishes to invite former Junior Legatees to Legacy’s 90th Anniversary Celebratory Event in October at Government House.

If you are a Former Junior Legatee and would like to receive an invitation please
email your contact details, including your telephone number to: lynette.furlan@legacymelb.com.au. Alternatively you can complete the attached form and post it to:

Melbourne Legacy
GPO Box 4312, Melbourne 3001

Legacy is dedicated to enhancing the lives and opportunities of our families through innovative and practical programs aimed at:

  • the protection of individuals’ and families’ basic needs;
  • advocating for their entitlements, rights and benefits;
  • assisting families through bereavement; and
  • helping people thrive, despite their adversity and loss.

Legacy helps families, not just in the short term - Legacy is there for life.

Legacy Services


Legacy's assistance is aimed at helping families of deceased veterans to live rich and meaningful lives.

Legatee Members


Legacy services are provided by our volunteer members (called Legatees). If you share the ideals of Legacy and want to assist in our work, we would welcome a membership enquiry from you.

Legacy Support


To maintain Legacy's services we rely heavily on public support. Our principal fundraising activity is the Legacy Week Badge Appeal.

In 2013, the appeal will be held from 1 September to 7 September.

Melbourne Legacy acknowledges our corporate partners:
