Bundaberg Legacy
Bundaberg Legacy was formed in 1948 and since then has cared for the families of veterans who have given their lives or health in the service of their country.
Bundaberg Legacy
Bundaberg Legacy covers a large geographical area that encompasses the following centres and surrounding rural communities: Bundaberg, Bargara, Childers, Howard, Woodgate, Gin Gin, Mt Perry, Miriam Vale, 1770, Agnes Water, Rosedale
Service is at the heart of Legacy. The organisation provides modern, needs-based programs and support, recognising that every family’s circumstances are unique. Legacy families and dependants are supported with compassion, understanding and empathy.
We strive to support the spouses and children of veterans who have given their lives or health in service to their country. This includes veterans who served in peacekeeping operations or in the Army, Navy or Air Force.

Become part of a proud tradition
Being a Legatee is the most rewarding endeavour of my life. It makes me proud of my country when I see the enthusiasm and compassion volunteers bring to their roles as Legatees. I also see just how much enjoyment and fulfilment they get out of it.
