Uniting veterans,
enriching lives.
Supporting wellbeing. Fostering
camaraderie. Commemorating
our history.
We began in 1920, when Australian Flying Corps veterans agreed to keep their friendships going and to look after members who needed help.
Today we are a national body and seven separately incorporated Divisions, one in every state and the ACT. Membership is open to veterans, serving members, their families, and members of the public who support our mission.
