Honouring service and sacrifice
A physical expression of the spirit and legend of Anzac — Honouring service and sacrifice by all servicemen, servicewomen and their families.
The Anzac Memorial is dedicated to the remembrance of Australians who have served in the Defence Force.
The Anzac Memorial is administered by a Board of Trustees appointed under the Anzac Memorial (Building) Act 1923.
The Anzac Memorial is proud to launch a brand new learning program for schools, to coincide with the 100 year anniversary of the Armistice as part of the Centenary of Anzac.

Bruce Dellit’s vision for the Memorial included a still pool bounded by poplars to the north of the building (included for their significant symbolic association with the battles in France and Belgium), and a cascading fountain to the south.
The Anzac Memorial is a place of commemoration and remembrance of the service and sacrifice of Australian men and women in war and peacekeeping activities from colonial times to the present day.
