Frequently Asked Questions

About Dream Home Art Union (the new name of RSL Art Union)
Support for Veterans and families
What does my contribution to Dream Home Art Union go towards? 

Funds raised through Dream Home Art Union (previously RSL Art Union) allow RSL Queensland to provide practical support, assistance, advice and camaraderie to current and former Australian Defence Force members and their families across Queensland and nationally.

RSL Queensland’s mission is to provide care, commemoration and camaraderie to enable veterans and families to live with dignity and respect.

For example, in 2024, RSL Queensland supported 7,304 veterans and their families with their services, found jobs for 358 veterans and their partners, and helped 238 individuals into safe, permanent housing.

You can read about our services and stories at Our Impact.

How can I get assistance from RSL Queensland?

Life always has its ups and downs. But as a veteran, or the partner of a veteran, you don’t have to face them on your own.

Whether you're looking for employment, wellness programs, or assistance with DVA claims, RSL Queensland has free programs, and people at the ready, to help you achieve your life goals.

To learn more and get assistance, visit www.rslqld.org or call 134 RSL.

For example:

  • The winning entrant of our major prize home draw who purchased a $30 ticket book (10 entries) would be awarded $30,000 additional gold bullion.

Why do you give away gold bullion instead of cash?

As a charitable lottery, there are some restrictions that prevent us from giving away large amounts of cash to winners from certain states. By giving away gold bullion, we can ensure all ticket buyers, regardless of where they live, have the chance to win the same prize.

If you’re one of our lucky gold bullion winners, you have the option of taking possession of the gold bullion or selling the gold bullion to claim its value in cash.

Please note that selling costs and market variations apply when selling gold bullion.

When will the details of each draw be released to the public?

Full details of our current, and some of our upcoming draws are available online – see Prizes. For the latest draw updates, follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

If you're signed up for our emails, we'll email you on the open day of each draw, giving you all the draw details and the chance to order tickets.

Are your prize homes open for viewing?

Dream Home Art Union (the new name for RSL Art Union) has been restricted from opening prize homes to the public by regional councils and body corporates concerned about disruption to the local community and limitations with parking. We continue to assess opportunities to re-open future prize homes to the public.

Our prize homes might be closed to public viewing, but you can explore them in detail online, any time you like!

Why are some draws priced at $5 and others at $10?

The normal price of a single ticket in our prize home draws is $5. Twice a year we offer our apartment block prizes, called Golden Treasure draws, where the single ticket price increases to $10. The change in ticket price allows us to bring you bigger, more exciting prizes while still supporting veterans and families.

With all our draws, the more tickets you buy, the cheaper they become.

  • For VIP Club members on a $10 or more subscription, your subscription does not vary for Golden Treasure draws, just the number of tickets.
    For example, a VIP with a $10 subscription would normally receive 2 x $5 tickets per month during our prize home draws, except Golden Treasure draws where you will receive 1 x $10 ticket per month.
  • For VIP Club members on a $5 subscription, your subscription will increase to $10 during Golden Treasure draws only.
    For example, a VIP with a $5 subscription would normally receive 1 x $5 ticket each month in our prize home draws, except Golden Treasure draws where you will receive 1 x $10 ticket per month.

We also have a small number of longstanding customers on a different ticket book value for Golden Treasure draws. We suggest checking your selected subscription amounts against the ticket information in our Terms and Conditions. Please contact our Customer Service Team on 1300 775 888 for support with managing your subscription nominations.

For more information, please see our Terms and Conditions.

I have bought tickets before, but the website says I don't have an account. Why?

You may have an account under another email address that you provided previously. Please try signing in using another email address that you may have provided.

I live outside of Australia. Can I still enter your draws?

Prior to entering, you will need to check your country’s regulations to ensure you are permitted to do so under local law. While the Dream Home Art Union (the new name for RSL Art Union) is not actively promoted outside Australia, interested overseas supporters can purchase tickets but MUST have an Australian phone number for account registration and contact purposes.

In addition to this:

  • All Dream Home Art Union prize and ticket values are listed in Australian dollars (AUD). We only accept payment in Australian dollars.
  • Dream Home Art Union tickets can be purchased via credit card (excluding American Express), debit card, PayPal, or via direct debit from an Australian bank account.
  • Whether you can purchase Dream Home Art Union tickets online while overseas will depend on your banking institution. Please contact your bank for information about international payment processing.

Please note that residents of the United States of America, United Kingdom or the European Union who have not purchased tickets in any RSL Art Union draw prior to 25 May 2018 aren't eligible to enter. For more information, please see our Terms and Conditions.

Is my ticket tax deductible?

Because your ticket purchase provides you with the potential for personal benefit (winning a prize), it isn't tax deductible.

However, every ticket you purchase from Dream Home Art Union helps provide practical support, assistance, advice and camaraderie to current and former Australian Defence Force members and their families across Queensland and nationally.

Selecting a password to secure your account

How to choose a secure password

To help keep your account and details secure, your password must contain:

  1. A minimum of 8 characters
  2. At least 1 uppercase and 1 lowercase letter
  3. At least 1 number

For additional security we strongly recommend including one of the following limited special characters: ! @ $ ^ * ( )

We also strongly suggest you use a pass-phrase (a string of uppercase/lowercase letters, numbers and symbols, e.g. ILik3JohnGri$h@m) that you can easily remember, but is hard to guess.

How to secure your password

  • Do not share your passwords with anyone.
  • Do not write your passwords down anywhere.
  • Make it unique. Reusing a password multiple times makes it less secure, as it only requires one breach to compromise all the different places where that password is used.
  • If you have many accounts across many different sites, consider using passphrases instead of passwords.
  • Wherever it's available, enable two-factor authentication. This further protects your account with a second identity check. (Anyone trying to access your account will need to provide both the correct password and a one-off code sent directly to you.)
Winner Support
What happens if I win gold bullion?

You have the option of taking possession of the gold bullion or selling the gold bullion to claim its value in cash.

Please note that selling costs and market variations apply when selling gold bullion. If you win gold bullion, our team will put you in contact with our gold bullion provider who will be able to provide you with further information about your options.

How do I find out if I'm a winner?

After each draw, we attempt to contact the winner by phone and mail as the priority. If the winner does not have a valid phone number on file, we will reach out via email or mail.

The winning ticket number will also be posted on our Winners page, with emails, Facebook and Instagram posts to notify our members and followers shortly after the draw.

All our winners have the right to anonymity, but we do love to share their stories on our Winners page.

Do I have to pay tax on the first prize if I win?

The transfer of all our lottery prizes to prize winners is not taxable for the prize winner. There may be tax consequences for the prize winner for the ongoing use or sale of the prize. More detailed information can be found via the Australian Taxation Office.

Please note RSL Queensland is not able to provide financial or taxation advice. We advise all our prize winners to seek professional financial and tax advice to fully understand any implications.
