NEW SOUTH WALES (NSW)
The NSW Branch hosts regular gatherings throughout the year that bring members closer together. The camaraderie and spirit of the association are on full display at these events, reinforcing the enduring bonds forged during service in the Australian Special Air Service.
These occasions give us the chance to reminisce, share stories, and strengthen the friendships that have sustained us over the years.
ANZAC Day holds a special place in our calendar. Each year, members march together in Sydney to honour and remember the sacrifices of our fellow soldiers. The community support and recognition we receive during this occasion reflects the enduring respect the public holds for all who have served.
The NSW Branch is a community built on shared experience. Whether celebrating together or leaning on one another through tough times, the strength of our association runs deep.
We actively support members transitioning from the regiment, help people settle into life in NSW, and stand by the families of those who have served our nation.
The NSW Branch is an incorporated association and registered charity. Through our partnership with the Dee Why RSL Sub Branch on Sydney & Northern Beaches, we have a home base for meetings, events, and member activities.

MEMBERSHIP
The NSW Branch is driven by its members. A modest annual membership fee applies, with
additional funding raised through events and sponsorships to keep the branch running and
growing.
We welcome applications from those who qualify and encourage eligible members of the SASR community to connect with us. Membership gives you access to a network of current and former members across NSW.
The NSW Branch is a registered charity. All donations are tax-deductible and go directly toward supporting our members, their families, and the events and memorial services that keep our community connected.
Donations are always welcome and gratefully received. As a registered charity, all contributions are tax-deductible and make a direct difference to the lives of current and former SASR members and their families.

EVENTS
The NSW Branch runs a calendar of events throughout the year, from formal commemorative occasions to informal networking gatherings. All casual and networking events are communicated to members through our database — another reason to ensure we have your current details.
ANZAC Day is our flagship annual event. Members form up for the march in the Sydney CBD on 25 April each year, followed by drinks and networking. Full details are sent to members ahead of time.
No events at the moment
Our events are well attended and we are always looking to grow the calendar. If you have ideas for an event or would like to help organise one, we would love to hear from you.

WELFARE & FAMILIES
The SAS Resources Trust was formed in 1996 following the Black Hawk helicopter tragedy near Townsville, Queensland. In 2012 the Trust was renamed the SAS Resources Fund.
The Board of Trustees oversees the Fund, to which charitable donations are made and distributed to the various Trusts established to support SASR.
The SAS Resources Trust is a perpetual Trust Fund providing relief to current and former members of SASR who become deceased or permanently disabled as a result of operational service or training.
The NSW Branch is a registered charity. If you would like to contribute to the SAS Resources Fund or support our welfare work, all donations are tax-deductible and go directly to those in need.
The NSW Branch actively supports members and their families through life after the regiment, from practical assistance to connecting people with the right services and networks.

PROJECTS
The NSW Branch has established a formal partnership with the Dee Why RSL Sub Branch on Sydney's Northern Beaches. This partnership provides us with a shared office and a home base for meetings, events, and member activities — a significant step forward for the branch.
Our long-term strategy includes establishing a permanent dedicated facility to store memorabilia and serve as a gathering place for the SASR community in NSW. We are actively seeking funding through events, sponsorships, and community support to make this a reality.
