About the ARTF
The Army Relief Trust Fund (ARTF) was established in 1947 to provide benefits for soldiers who have served in the Australian Army and their dependants.
The original source of funds came from the allocation of sixty thousand pounds (AUD$120,000) by the government of the day, from the profits of canteens during WWII. The Army Relief Trust Fund was formerly known as the AMF Relief Trust Fund. Today, the ARTF’s only source of income is interest on investments and a small fee charged on loans.
The ARTF is administered by Trustees appointed by the Minister for Defence. The current Trustees are:
|
BRIG G.P. Fogarty |
Chairman |
To ensure that ARTF funds are used solely for the benefit of soldiers and their dependents, The Department of Defence provides all the necessary secretarial, administrative and infrastructure support the Fund needs.
The Fund secretariat is located in Canberra.
