The Australian War Memorial is dedicated to honouring the service and sacrifice of those Australians who have died in war or on operational service and those who have served our nation in times of conflict. As the nation’s leading institution for remembrance, the Memorial hosts a range of events and ceremonies throughout the year, including daily services, commemorative events, and special ceremonies.
Commemorations
Anzac Day
As our day of national commemoration, it marks the anniversary of the Gallipoli landings in 1915, as well as commemorating all Australians who have served and died in military operations.
Remembrance Day
As a mark of respect to those who have died and suffered, Australians are encouraged to pause at 11 am to observe one minute’s silence and remember those who died or suffered for Australia's cause in all wars and armed conflicts.
Last Post Ceremony
Each night the ceremony shares the story behind one of the names on the Roll of Honour.
