About Us

|
In November 1987 the late Barry Vicary and a group of NASHO friends met in Queens Park, Toowoomba QLD to form the National Servicemen’s Association.
They were Vietnam Era National Servicemen who had served in Australia, Malaysia and Papua New Guinea. They were seeking a better deal for all Australian Nashos to provide an avenue for them to find support, advocacy and camaraderie when they needed it.
South Australia was the first State Branch outside Queensland and was formed in 1992, followed by Victoria in 1994 and NSW in 1995. Currently the Association has Branches in all States and Territories throughout Australia with the Officer Training Unit (OTU) Association as an affiliated member.
In September 1995, some 16 NASHOs met in Sydney and formed the NSW State Branch of the Association. From 1995 to 1998 after a great deal of activity from a dedicated few, that 16 had grown to approximately 3,000 members with almost 20 Sub-Branches located throughout the State. At its peak membership, NSW had over 40 Sub-Branches. These Sub-Branches have a commitment to help the community, encourage fellowship between members and offer assistance and guidance on matters that affect the welfare of all NASHOS regardless of their membership.
A National Memorial dedicated to all National Servicemen and in memory of those who died was officially opened by the Governor-General at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra in September 2010.

The NSW State Executive administers a network of Sub-Branches throughout the State. They continue their “Service to the Nation” by serving their local community.
They comprise of individual members and each operates as an independent group with their own constitution and elected management committee under the umbrella of the State Management and the Guidelines and Principals of the National Association. Each conducts regular member meetings according to their local need.
They participate in local commemorative events including National Servicemen’s Day in February, ANZAC Day in April, Reserve Forces Day in July and Vietnam Veteran's Day in August. Other events and social activities are conducted annually to suit member needs and the local schedule.
They are unique as a group: They have the common elements of age, experience, service and beliefs that act to bond members, which enable them to use their heritage to accomplish mateship, camaraderie and the fulfilment of projects within the local group and the wider community.
The Association operate for the benefit of all National Servicemen. If you are an individual or a group who see an advantage in joining the network or you wish to enquire about a particular Sub-Branch, Email State Secretary to contact us and provide enough information for a return contact.
