Sub-Branch Inc.

                                            What we do

Everyone working at the 'Train' is a volunteer; nevertheless the office is always well manned between Monday and Friday from around 9.00am and 2.00pm.  

Pension Officers are in attendance for claims on Monday, Tuesday and Friday and limited Pension Claims on Wednesday.  

Each Tuesday approximately 18 Welfare Officers are on the road visiting hospitals and limited home visits between Nepean, Penrith and out to the Hills District.  

Computer classes are held, free of charge, on Tuesday and Thursday between 9.00am and 2.00pm - depending on class numbers; these classes are not restricted to members or Veterans only.

On Thursdays we have a group of volunteers affectionately known as the 'Train Washers’, carrying out the cleaning and maintenance of the Office and Surrounds under the watchful eye of our Stationmaster - Reno Ciantar.  

Our Education Team under the expert guidance of team Co-ordinator Vin Cosgrove - visit schools in the area speaking to students on the Vietnam conflict; they also deliver assembly talks to children on ANZAC and Remembrance Commemoration.

You do not have to be a Vietnam Veteran to join us - everyone is welcome, and if you are looking for something to do or just have a chat - we can accommodate you, it has been said that the “Train” is the best therapy one can get.
