How can veterans get involved in commemorative services?
Last updated

The Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) delivers commemorative activities on behalf of the nation to ensure the service and sacrifice of veterans is remembered, recognised and respected and the support provided by families of veterans is acknowledged.

A key element of these commemorative activities includes the planning and delivery of international Anzac Day services.

DVA is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) for volunteers who are Australian Defence Force (ADF) veterans, or family members of ADF veterans, to support us in the delivery of international Anzac Day services in 2026.

Veterans and family members of veterans expressing an interest may be selected to support DVA to deliver international Anzac Day services in Türkiye (Gallipoli), France (Villers-Bretonneux), Thailand (Hellfire Pass), Malaysia (Sandakan), Singapore or Papua New Guinea (Isurava).

Read more about the EOI and how to apply on 2026 Anzac Day Veteran and Family Delivery Pool - International Commemorative Services.
