Since its foundation in 1916, the Returned & Services League of Australia (RSL) has worked tirelessly to help build a better Australia. It is known for its active role in community affairs and determination to preserve our way of life.

A major activity of the RSL is the provision of welfare services to ex-service men and women, their dependants and to other members of the Community. Welfare includes pension and advocacy services, care facilities, home care and financial assistance to ex-servicemen and women including their dependants.

In 1956 the RSL Art Union, which is a Queensland based lottery, was established to raise funds to provide these essential services.

The marketing strategy of the Art Union has been the same for more than a decade and is based on quality waterfront homes on the Queensland Gold Coast, one of Australia's most sought after residential locations. In addition to the major prize, a wide range of bonus prizes is also available.

The success of this strategy is evidenced by the fact that, since its inception, the RSL Art Union has given away $200+ million in prizes and has also raised over $100+ million for the support of the RSL and welfare activities.
