Home » About the SASR Trust » Use of funds raised by the Trust

In keeping with the Trust’s Mission Statement, funds raised by the Trust have been allocated to families and individuals to provide quality education, family relocation, home security, medical and dental services.  The peace of mind this generates for current beneficiaries and serving members of the SAS is paramount for the continued well-being of the nation’s most valued force.

From 1996 to 2009 the Trust was a fully voluntary body.  In 2009 a Trust Manager was employed to manage the day to day running of the Trust.  The Trust Manager is a paid position.

The Trust acts on behalf of the Australian public to supplement existing support measures and provide peace of mind to members serving in the Australian Special Air Service Regiment.  Apart from the positive effect on Trust beneficiaries many serving SAS soldiers and their families now undertake their duties in the knowledge that the risks are high and, should anything happen, they will be looked after.

The children of the deceased or disabled SAS soldier are looked after by the Trust until they reach the age of 25 years.  This helps to cover education costs should the young beneficiary wish to undertake tertiary studies.

For the disabled soldier he is looked after for the term of his natural life.
