Victorian Aboriginal Remembrance Service

The service honours First Nations service men and women, who have served, or continue to serve in the Australian Defence Force. First Nations people have served in conflict and peacekeeping missions involving Australia for over a century. For many years, their service and sacrifice was not recognised or commemorated.

The event is held every year during Reconciliation Week and this year marks the 20th anniversary of the Victorian Aboriginal Remembrance Service.
