A day to remember all over the world

Anzac Day goes beyond the anniversary of the landing on Gallipoli in 1915. It is the day on which we remember Australians who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. The spirit of Anzac, with its human qualities of courage, mateship, and sacrifice, continues to have meaning and relevance for our sense of national identity. If you do want to commemorate this event by attending an official service, then there are a range of options available, no matter where you are in the world.

Suggested arrival: from 4.30 am onwards on the Parade Ground at the front of the Memorial If you would like to register your interest to attend the Anzac Day Dawn Service please click here for more information.
