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 a commemorative site and a retreat for reflection on the sacrifices made by defence personel and their families.
Built and funded by the people of NSW, to honour those who served in the Great War and be a place of comfort for those who had lost loved ones. Today it stands proudly as one of the state's most significant cultural and commemorative institutions.
The Hall of Service displays soil from 1,701 places in New South Wales, representing more than one-hundred thousand First World War enlistees who answered the call to serve.
Honour a veteran and help raise funds for future Anzac Memorial exhibitions and education programs.
