Background
What is a Veteran Support Centre?
The RNZRSA recognises that times are changing, and today’s veterans connect in different ways to previous generations.
The RSA Veteran Support Centres are multi-use facilities bringing together a range of health and wellbeing services – and provide space for community and connection.
Veteran Support Centres are not replacing the traditional RSA hospitality venues, but complement them by providing a wider range of options for veterans to connect with the RSA.
