Anzac Day international services to proceed in 2022
Anzac Day services, led by DVA, will take place in Gallipoli, Turkey and in Villers-Bretonneux, France in 2022.
For the past two years, international services could not proceed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Local wreath-laying services were conducted to mark the occasion.
Both Gallipoli and Villers-Bretonneux hold a special meaning. Australians fought and died in both locations during the First World War, and were integral in the forging of the Anzac traditions that are embraced and carried on today by our Australian Defence Force.
A Dawn Service will take place at Anzac Cove on Gallipoli, followed by a service at the Lone Pine memorial. The Dawn Service in France will take place at the Australian National Memorial near Villers-Bretonneux, followed by an afternoon service at the Australian ‘Digger’ Memorial at Bullecourt.
Public attendance
Anyone planning to attend the services must register for an attendance pass. Attendance passes are available from the Anzac Day services ticketing website.
More information on the services is available from the Anzac Day 2022 page of the DVA website.
