Mildura

Commenced 1934

In 1934 the Mildura branch was established, and over the years it has provided support services for many needy ex-service men and women in the district, as well as their families. The branch was very active in support of the war effort during the Second World War, and it has also constructed 18 units to provide housing for ex-servicemen and their families. Recently the addition of 14 units at Red Cliffs has added to the work requirements of the branch.

The Last Post Explained: A Moving Tradition for Veterans on ANZAC Day

The Last Post is the third in a trilogy of bugle calls made to a unit that mark the key points of the day’s activities. The First Post lets the unit know the duty officer is on the move, checking various things on their rounds such as what positions are manned, who needs to be sent off duty and so on. When these rounds are completed, another bugle call is made and finally, the Last Post lets the whole unit know the end of the day’s rounds are complete, and the activities of the day are finished.
The human right to health and happiness

For the past 76 years, the World Health Organisation has been recognising one of the most critical aspects of being human – our health. World Health Day is celebrated on 7th April every year, with annual themes that put some of the key issues in the spotlight – from heart health to infectious diseases, safe hospitals to supporting health care workers, and healthy cities to universal health coverage.

Faith in times of war and the legacy of Saint Patrick

Irish people were among the first migrants to Australia – arriving as convicts and free settlers initially and continuing to contribute in many ways to the country’s history right up to the present day. At the most recent census in 2021, almost 10 per cent of the population identified as being Irish-born or having Irish ancestry.

The crucial role of positive male role models in our lives

With yet another Father’s Day upon us, many of us will celebrate our fathers or mourn the ones we do not. A father-type figure, however, is just one persona we look up to, and as we look back throughout history, we see the value that significant male role models of all kinds have played in the shaping of humanity and who we are as people.
