Our history
RSL Art Union was created in the spirit of mateship. A way to support veterans who were facing significant challenges after returning from World War I. In 1956, the first Dream Home Art Union was created, as a continual source of fundraising for RSL Queensland.
68 years later, we've grown to have Australia's biggest prize home line-up, with over $50 million being won this year, and more to come in 2025! Each ticket sold continues to support veterans and families, through advocacy, employment and wellbeing programs, offering new beginnings to veterans as they return from service.
We have now gone back to our proud beginnings, by returning to our name in 1956, Dream Home Art Union.
It’s a name that’s rich in history, setting the bar for prize homes and giving you, our valued customers, the chance to win your own Dream Home. While our name has changed, the work our organisation does has not, ensuring we continue supporting veterans and families now and into the future.

How the Dream Home Art Union (the new name of RSL Art Union) works
An art union is different from other lotteries, it’s more like a raffle, with a guaranteed winner in every draw.
Thanks to your support, we've grown to have Australia's biggest prize home line-up, with over $50 million in prizes set to be won this year, with more to come in 2025! You can buy a prize home lottery ticket from just $5, whilst supporting veterans and families at the same time.
There are ten multi-million-dollar dream home draws every year, including two Golden Treasure prize home draws - known for their spectacular locations with beachfront properties, stunning ocean views, and luxurious hinterland estates.
Our VIP Club is open to everyone, with bonus tickets and draws to say thanks for your support, and the flexibility to pause or play whenever you like.
