The Memorial opened its Sculpture Garden in January 1999.

The Garden is located to the west of the main building and offers a place for quiet contemplation of the sacrifice of the many Australians who have died in war.

The Garden contains memorials to the British Commonwealth Occupation Force, Australian servicewomen, Australian Merchant Seamen, Bomber Command, Animals in war and Sandakan. There are also many plaques in memory of particular units.
