Our welfare services are tailored to meet our police legacy families’ individual needs across all stages of life.

Financial assistance for police legatees is available for will preparation, driving lessons, special occasions and financial hardship.

We invite all members of the public to join us at various community events across Victoria. See our Events Calendar below.

Our local lunches, outdoor hikes and MCG Christmas lunch provide a wonderful opportunity for police legatees to catch up with friends.

We offer a range of education grants for police legatee children, young adult police legatees and mature age police legatees.

Family retreat, children’s camp and Christmas party are amongst the activities available to our police legatee families and police legatee children aged 17 years and under.

Our annual trips and getaways promote fellowship and are a great way to meet new people, have fun and enjoy the experiences on offer.

Our range of activities allow our 18 - 25 years young adult group to come together, interact and create new and lasting friendships.
