Attend one of the moving ANZAC Day Services on Friday 25 April 2025 as Australia remembers the sacrifice of the fallen and the service of defence personnel



ANZAC Day is a national public occasion in Australia and a significant moment in the country's history. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. It recognises and commemorates the landing of the (ANZAC) Australian and New Zealand Army Corps on the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915, during World War I.

To put the magnitude of the event into perspective, it is estimated that 8709 Australians were killed. In all, 61,522 Australians lost their lives in the First World War. As well, an estimated total of 664 Australian officers and 17,260 men were wounded. According to the official history, 70 Australians were captured on Gallipoli.

This year's ANZAC Day commemorations are especially symbolic as 2025 marks the 110th Anniversary of the Gallipoli landing in Turkey.

Services, commemorative marches, youth events, and more are being held in major cities and towns across the country to pay tribute to the fallen.

Here are just some of the events which are free to the public to attend for a peaceful moment of reflection or to cheer amongst the crowds to celebrate service.
