A practical first step

One trusted place to seek support, explore the assistance available, learn how to apply, and connect with someone for guidance, advice, or a friendly conversation.

The RSA supports all current and ex service personnel and their families. It also supports those who have served in the Allied Armed Services. You do not need to be a member of a RSA to ask for support.

It is learning from the community so future services match the real needs across Tauranga and the wider Western Bay.
