Whether you need a coffee and a chat, access to support and rehabilitation services, or you just want to meet others who understand what you’re going through, you’re welcome at the Veteran & Family Wellbeing Centre in Townsville. 

Here you’ll find a community of like-minded current and ex-serving Defence Force members who have been impacted by service, and their families.

Mates4Mates services are co-located within the RSL Queensland Veteran & Family Wellbeing Centre in Townsville. The centre includes clinical services, a gym, a veterans’ lounge, as well as a space for social connection activities.

The centre also includes RSL Queensland’s advocacy, employment and emergency financial support services, providing an easier approach for veterans and their families to receive more support, more often. 

To book an appointment with one of our psychologists or exercise physiologists, you will need a Medicare or DVA referral from your GP. Appointments can also be made with our counsellors and social workers.

To access our services, you will need to fill out our new client form.  

The centre is open from 8.30am to 4.30pm, Monday to Friday. Talk with our staff about events which may occur outside of regular opening hours.
