Welcome to Lenah Valley RSL, located at 188 Lenah Valley Road in Lenah Valley, Tasmania. Our institution is a bar, establishment, food point of interest, and restaurant, offering a variety of services and amenities for our valued members and visitors.

At Lenah Valley RSL, we take pride in our commitment to honoring and supporting our veterans and their families. We recently hosted the Vietnam Veterans' Association of Australia - Greater Hobart Sub-Branch to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. The event was attended by esteemed guests, including Her Excellency the Governor, the Honourable Barbara Baker, and local politicians such as Mr. Andrew Wilkie MP and the Hon Elise Archer MP, who is also a club member.

ANZAC Day holds a special place in our hearts, and we celebrate it with great enthusiasm. Our recent ANZAC Day event was a tremendous success, thanks to the dedication and hard work of our volunteers, staff, and generous supporters. We were honored to have The Honourable Josh Willie, MLC, deliver a powerful address at the main service, reminding us of the bravery and sacrifice of our Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.

In addition to these important commemorative events, we also organize various activities to raise funds for our Lenah Valley RSL welfare fund. One such event is the Tasmanian RSL Golf Challenge, held annually at the Claremont Golf Club. This 18-hole Ambrose event brings together golf enthusiasts for a day of friendly competition while supporting a worthy cause.

We were thrilled to welcome Guy Barnett MP, Minister for Veterans Affairs, during his visit to Lenah Valley RSL. Minister Barnett launched the `Teddy' Sheean Memorial Grants Program - Round 2, highlighting the importance of supporting veterans and their families.

Remembrance Day is another significant occasion for us, where we pay tribute to the signing of the Armistice that ended World War 1. Our commemorative event in 2022 was attended by over 100 people, with Chaplain Paul Crennan delivering the opening and closing prayers, and our Secretary, Josh Weir, reciting the Ode.

We also take pride in remembering our past members who were prisoners of war. Many of them were part of the 2/40 Australian Infantry Battalion, comprising mainly Tasmanian Servicemen. While the list may be incomplete, we honor their service and sacrifice.

Lenah Valley RSL is not just a place for commemoration and remembrance; it is also a family-friendly club that welcomes new members and visitors. Our bistro offers delicious meals, and our friendly atmosphere fosters lasting friendships. Since 1946, we have been a pillar of support for former and serving Australian Defence Force members and their families. With your continued support, we will continue to play a vital role in local community events.
