There is much to be done during 2023 enabled by the resolutions made at the Victorian Section's Council Meeting and the Annual General Meeting scheduled for 26 March 2023. 2023 will be a year of implementation and progress. 

HMAS CERBERUS is conducting an Open Day on 19 March 2023 showcasing the results of the $500 million dollar development. There is much to see across the training spectrum so I encourage you to visit CERBERUS during the Open Day. Entry is free and the Commanding Officer CERBERUS is expecting 20 000 people to attend. The Victorian Section along with other ESO will attend in the hope of raising our profile with veterans. See you there?

The Victorian Section can receive donations and on the advice of the Australian Taxation Office, the donation can be used by the donor as a tax deduction.
