RSL NSW's fundraising suspension will be temporarily lifted to allow the veteran's charity - through its defence care branch - to fundraise for the Poppy Day appeal.
The fundraising ban was announced by president James Brown in August 2017 after a public inquiry found ex-president Don Rowe used his RSL credit card between 2009 and 2014 to pay for his mortgage, family phone bills, flights and meals.
The organisation has been going through significant reform since the 2017 inquiry and a two-year investigation by the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission which found it was plagued by widespread misconduct and governance failures.
Mr Brown, who last year quit his job with the United States Studies Centre to take on the volunteer leadership position, has been working with RSL NSW members to rebuild the organisation and restore the public's trust.
As a result of these reforms, the charity through its RSL DefenceCare branch, will be selling poppies to raise funds ahead of Remembrance Day on November 11.

"RSL DefenceCare brought in a new system and we track every dollar that is donated," Mr Brown told AAP on Friday.
"You can be assured the money will be banked, accounted for and tracked to its final destination."
The majority of the Poppy Day appeal funds will go towards RSL DefenceCare initiatives including emergency financial relief for veterans, counselling and assistance for homeless ex-servicemen and women.
The remaining 40 per cent will go towards RSL NSW sub-branches across the state.
Mr Brown said it's a temporary solution while the organisation's members consider a new constitution which will overhaul the structure and governance of RSL NSW.
The new constitution, which members will vote on in December, is the charity's best chance to restore its fundraising activities, Mr Brown said.
"It's the first big reform to RSL NSW in about 50 years.
"It's been challenging, it's a big and complex organisation and some of the issues are very intricate."
Mr Brown said the majority of RSL NSW members accept the charity needs to change and modernise.
"I'm amazed at how far we have come in 12 months," he said.
"There is an enormous amount of goodwill in our membership and in the public to see the RSL get back to being the nation's premier veteran charity."
The Poppy Appeal has been an Australian tradition for a century with Remembrance Day 2018 marking the 100th anniversary of the Armistice which ended WWI.
