Celebrate your time at Indian Ocean Defence & Security (IODS) 2024 and help support veterans and their families by attending the IODS 2024 Defence & Industry Dinner in collaboration with The Better Together Ball 2024.
To be held on the evening of Thursday 25 July, this gala event is an opportunity to network with senior representatives from defence, industry and government while fundraising for an important cause.
The Better Together Ball 2024 is presented in partnership between RSLWA, Legacy WA and Police Legacy WA as a major fundraiser to support defence and police veterans and their families through advocacy and welfare services.
RSLWA and Legacy WA are two of Australia’s oldest organisations dedicated to helping WA’s veteran community whenever and however they need help. This momentous partnership brings together their commitment to empower, uplift and support veterans and their families in WA throughout their journey to a prosperous future. Veterans often face unique challenges when they leave Defence which can make their transition back to civilian life a hard path at times, which is why RSLWA and Legacy WA support veterans and their families living in Western Australia. The Better Together Ball is one of Perth’s biggest fundraisier for Western Australia’s veteran community, ensuring ex-service members and their families continue to thrive in the community.
