The ANZAC spirit lives here
On ANZAC Day, Australians and New Zealanders come together to recognise all who have served – whether in wars, conflicts, peacekeeping or other operations.
It’s a heartfelt reminder of the sacrifices made for our way of life, and of the values that shaped and unite our communities.
Every person who takes part in ANZAC Day helps to carry the ANZAC legacy forward – hand to hand, heart to heart.
Let’s show the ANZAC spirit lives here.
ANZAC Day Dawn Services, marches and other ceremonies will be held Australia-wide on 25 April. These events are free and open to everyone in the community.

A legacy that unites us all
The spirit of ANZAC Day is for all Australians and New Zealanders.
More than a commemoration of service and sacrifice, ANZAC Day is a chance to stand united, to reflect on what truly matters.
Each ANZAC Day we honour not just what was, but what still is: the spirit that shaped us – the spirit that lives with us, and in us, evermore.
Your participation matters. No matter how you commemorate ANZAC Day, it only matters that you do.
Whether you join a Dawn Service, pause at home in quiet reflection, or share stories with family and friends, every action – big or small – honours those who’ve served and shows us that the ANZAC spirit lives here.
To honour what they gave is to appreciate what we have.

Postcards of Honour
For hundreds of years, postcards have been a way to keep in touch with loved ones, and for soldiers in World War I postcards acted as a visual and verbal link to their family at home.
Postcards of Honour invites students to reflect on this tradition by creating a postcard to acknowledge a veteran’s service and sacrifice.
The activity allows children to learn about ANZAC Day, practise their writing and artistic skills, and acknowledge a local veteran for their service.
