Get In Touch

A place that has carried families for 70 years.

Since 1928 Legacy WA has provided support for families, helping them navigate their way through complex challenges due to service.

Since 1956, Legacy WA's Busselton Camp has been the place they go to for respite. Like a lighthouse standing steady on the shore, it has called people in - a place to rest, recover and simply be.

For seven decades it has given - without being given to. And now, it needs our care.

THE CHALLENGE

  • No significant capital investment in over 70 years

  • Limited accessibility and inclusivity provisions

  • Sewage, power and gas utilities at or beyond capacity

  • Coastal erosion threatening buildings closest to the shore within 15 to 20 years

  • Existing facilities no longer reflect the evolving defence community needs

  • Current camp capacity insufficient for future operational and
    family support needs

THE OPPORTUNITY

  • Up to 60 additional beds via new eco-cabin accommodation

  • Capacity to lift utilisation from approximately 3% to 80% with
    targeted investment

  • Respond directly to 7 Royal Commission recommendations on veteran welfare

  • Provide rest and relaxation for AUKUS rotational forces, just 2 hours from HMAS Stirling

  • Activate a new Wellness Centre for allied health professionals and
    transition programs

  • Expand the capacity and benefits of annual Children’s & Youth Camp and Family Camp

  • Future proof the provision of wholistic support for our Australian defence service personnel
