About Us

Our Story

Our sub-branch is the result of a proud partnership that unites the histories and strengths of three communities: Coogee, Randwick, and Clovelly. Established in 2014, our journey began when members of Clovelly and Randwick–Coogee RSL sub-Branches joined forces to create a unified, enduring presence dedicated to supporting veterans and their families.

​

The idea to merge emerged in 2013, as Clovelly sub-Branch sought a new home after the sale of their building. Coogee Diggers Club stepped forward, generously offering its premises for our combined sub-branch’s new office. With enthusiastic support from both memberships and approval from the RSL State Council, the Combined Coogee Randwick Clovelly RSL sub-Branch officially began on January 1, 2014.

​

Today, our sub-branch proudly serves 140 members, including Service members, Affiliates, and Life Subscribers. Each of these members is part of a tradition that goes back decades—our roots include the original Coogee–Randwick RSL sub-Branch, founded in 1928, and Clovelly RSL sub-Branch, established in the 1940s. Though both branches relocated over the years, their legacies remain embedded in the communities they served.

​

We continue this mission with dedication, based at the historic Coogee Diggers Club, and we remain committed to honoring and supporting our local veterans and their families for generations to come.
