RSL Queensland farewells outgoing Governor

As Her Excellency prepares to conclude her tenure as Governor of Queensland, RSL Queensland extends its sincere gratitude to Her Excellency and Professor Graeme Nimmo RFD for their dedicated service as joint Patrons of RSL Queensland, demonstrating a genuine regard for veterans, Australian Defence Force members, and their families. 

Their support was reflected through their attendance at ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day services, RSL Queensland’s annual State Congress opening ceremony and at local RSL Sub Branch events throughout the state recognising the service and sacrifice of Queensland’s veteran and Defence community. 

RSL Queensland State President Major General Stephen Day DSC AM reflects on the warmth, respect and encouragement that Her Excellency and Professor Nimmo's consistently have shown the organisation and the wider veteran community. 

“Throughout her term as Governor, Her Excellency demonstrated a deep dedication to service, community and commemoration,” MAJGEN Day says. 

“It has been a privilege to have Her Excellency and Professor Nimmo as joint Patrons of RSL Queensland. On behalf of RSL Queensland’s Board and members we extend our sincere gratitude as you prepare to conclude your tenure as Governor of Queensland, and wish them both every happiness for the future,” MAJGEN Day says. 

As Queensland prepares to welcome the Honourable Justice Thomas Bradley as its new Governor from 1 November 2026, RSL Queensland congratulates him on his appointment and hopes to continue its positive and long-standing relationship with the Office of the Governor. 

“Justice Bradley’s appointment is a significant honour that reflects his distinguished record of service, leadership and commitment to the people of Queensland,” MAJGEN Day says. 

“On behalf of RSL Queensland, I extend our best wishes for a successful and fulfilling term as Governor of Queensland.”
