Anzac Day Information
The ANZAC Day Dawn Service at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra is one of the nation’s most moving ceremonies. Each year thousands of Australians gather by candlelight to commemorate the anniversary of the first military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces. Bring your family and friends to experience the emotion of the lone bugler playing the Last Post as you pay your respects to those who gave their lives in the service of their country. Dawn Service starts at 5.30am, with the National Ceremony at 10.15am.
After the ceremony, gain a true understanding of the experiences of our ANZACs by taking time to explore the galleries at the Australian War Memorial on this important national day.
