About NSW Police Legacy

NSW Police Legacy was established in 1987 to provide support to police families who have suffered the loss of a loved one. Today, NSW Police Legacy continues to enhance the lives of Police Legatees by providing support to families through the provision of meaningful benefits, services, and advocacy. 

We take pride in being an inclusive organisation. Regardless of whether a police officer was serving or retired, or the circumstances of their death, our obligation is to those left behind.

We honour the history and proud traditions of the NSW Police Force. We embrace the camaraderie and unique bond shared across the police family, and take pride in providing compassionate, continuous and long-term support to the people in our care.

Our Board and staff strive to ensure that no Legatee will ever feel forgotten or in need, and that they continue to feel connected to the Police Family.

Our Vision: The charity that supports the families of serving and retired police officers impacted by loss
Our Purpose: Provide support and social connection for the families of deceased officers
