What our community is saying about raafa
“RAAFA’s Air Force Memorial Estate in Bull Creek is easy to access via train from North or South. Alight at Bull Creek Station and transfer to a bus which will drop you at the front gates of RAAFA. If driving, one is delighted to find lots of ‘free’ parking – a definite bonus.”
Valma Graham, Functions Organiser – WRANS-RAN Women’s Association WA
“On entering, one is struck by the brightness and light in its dining area with not only attractive décor but more importantly, comfortable seating. The staff are courteous and friendly.
Warren Evans, President – RAAOC Association WA Inc
“In my time (July 2007 to March 2022) as President FESR Navy Association, RAAFA has been a regular venue for our meetings, commemorative dinners, and Christmas lunch and I can only say that the dedication of the staff has been wonderful in a genuine friendly manner to meet all our needs whether it be special dietary requirements or special table layouts. One special aspect about the RAAFA facility and the staff is the respect for all Veterans and their families.”
Phillip Smith BEM, Ex President FESR Navy Association
“The new facility is absolutely terrific, and we were all incredibly happy with it. All of the group was very impressed with what was on offer, and the staff were very accommodating and can’t do enough to help. All in all, we highly recommend it as a high-quality meeting venue.”
Charlie Cuts from Far East Strategic Reserve Navy Assoc
“You really feel a sense of satisfaction and that you’re making a contribution. I love continuing to be a librarian even though I’m retired, and you really get to know people’s taste so you can make recommendations to anyone who uses the service. It’s great to do something that focuses on other people, not just myself.”
Jane Donald, AFME Library Coordinator
“We just love helping out and in fact I think we get even more joy out of it than we put in, we look forward to going and spending time with the residents, and we love the staff there too, who are just wonderful. I really enjoy having a laugh with male residents, reminiscing, and going on a trip down memory lane.”
