Dear Member,
Following Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews’ announcement regarding the reintroduction of Stage 3 lockdown restrictions, Box Hill RSL regretfully announce the temporary closure of our Club effective from 9:00pm Wednesday July 8, 2020. Box Hill RSL has diligently implemented the advice of both the Federal and State Governments to keep our community safe. The health and well-being of both our employees and our members remains paramount. This temporary closure will be in place for 6 weeks or until further notice.
To re-open our Sub-Branch over the past month, to again close our doors is heartbreaking for our Membership & Community. It goes without saying that my Management team along with our Welfare department are passionate about our Members as they are the essence of our business. We will continue to work hard to support you through this difficult time in any way we can.
Should you require Welfare or Pension Assistance please contact Faye Clarke directly on 03 9897 6780 or alternatively you can email her on welfmgr@boxhillrsl.com.au
Please keep checking in to stay up to date and informed of our reopening plans. We will continue to keep our Members informed of any changes via our Website and Member emails.
We hope you and your family stay safe and healthy and we sincerely thank you for your ongoing support.

General Manager

Firstly, I want to reassure you that your health, safety, livelihoods and the ongoing success of our RSL are all receiving my complete attention. The Management team are working extremely hard to ensure measures are put into place to ensure that we can reach back to normality quickly.
Yesterday, it was communicated by The Hon Dan Andrews that Victoria will proceed to implement a shutdown of all non-essential across the state to combat the spread of Coronavirus. Prime Minister Mr Morrison further confirmed that Stage 1 Restrictions which involved the closure of licensed clubs, would apply from midday Monday 23rd of March 2020.
It is anticipated that this forced closure will continue for the next 3 weeks, until the end of the school holidays, Monday 13th of April 2020. As the situation continues to change, I will constantly monitor and communicate any changes as soon as more information is known.
We are committed to the welfare of veterans & widows ensuring that the best possible assistance can be provided in these uncertain times. Box Hill RSL Sub Branch Welfare department will still remain open in the capacity of taking phone calls & responding to emails.
