FOUNDED ON A PROMISE Since the Legacy promise was made by a soldier to his dying mate in the trenches of WW1 to “look after the missus and the kids”, Legacy has supported Australian Defence Force families in times of great need. In 1923 Legacy made a promise to help veterans’ families carry on with their lives after the loss or injury of their loved one. It was a simple promise that Legacy keeps today; providing the same stability, guidance and assistance that a partner would normally provide to his or her family. Today, we support partners and children of veterans who gave their lives or health serving our country. Our work is to ensure that the partners and children of veterans don’t suffer financial or social disadvantage as a result of their loved ones’ death or injury.
