The RSL Art Union (www.rslartunion.com.au) helps to support Australia’s Veteran Community including ex-service men and women and their families.
Since its foundation in 1916, the Returned & Services League of Australia (RSL) has worked tirelessly to help build a better Australia. It is known for its active role in community affairs and determination to preserve our way of life.
A major activity of the RSL is the provision of welfare services to ex-service men and women, their dependants and to other members of the Community. Welfare includes pension and advocacy services, retirement and care facilities, home care and financial assistance to ex-servicemen and women including their dependants.
In 1956 the RSL Art Union, which is a Queensland based lottery, was established to raise funds to provide these essential services.
The RSL Art Union conducts 10 Art Unions every year. Six usually consist of a fully furnished Gold Coast waterfront Prize Home valued at over $1.2 million. Three are ‘instant property portfolio’ packages, (for example 3, one to two bedroom apartments in sought after locations) their combined valued worth over $1.4 million. The RSL Art Union typically offers the largest and most expensive prizes out of any Art Union in Australia, all for the price of a $5 ticket. Once a year we run our special $10 Art Union, the Golden Treasure. The Golden Treasure is a unit block and penthouse worth over $3 million.
