全國舉行澳新軍團日黎明紀念儀式,紀念一次大戰加利波利半島戰役,以及在大戰中陣亡的逾 6 萬名澳軍。時至今天,澳新軍團日紀念「所有在戰爭、衝突和維和任務中陣亡的澳新軍人」,和認同「全體參軍者的貢獻和付出」。
加利波利半島戰事在 1915 年爆發,造成大約 8709 名澳洲軍人和 2721 名新西蘭軍人死亡。
在雪梨,有幾千人出席馬丁廣場的黎明悼念儀式。澳洲艦隊司令邁耶(Stuart Mayer)少將在儀式上致辭。
他說,今年是多場戰役的重要週年紀念,包括在 1942 年澳洲遭受日本軍隊的空襲,至今已 75 年。

在坎培拉澳洲戰爭紀念館的紀念儀式,退伍軍人兼殘疾人士運動員麥格拉特(Curtis McGrath)講述他在阿富汗的戰士中的經歷。
麥格拉特說,在五年前阿富汗烏魯茲甘省的一場戰役中,敵人穿著的不是軍隊制服;而策動暴力衝突的不再是政府軍。他又說爆炸裝置變得越來越精細,愈來愈難發現,也愈來愈致命。
表揚原住民退伍軍人
原住民退伍軍人今日首次在堪培拉率領全國澳新軍團日遊行。
超過一千名原住民及托勒斯島民曾經參與第一次世界大戰,他們當時仍未獲准參與投票,亦未有算在人口統計中。
澳洲戰爭紀念館總監尼爾遜博士對澳州廣播公司表示,澳州過去多年都未有表揚過原住民士兵。
尼爾遜博士說,在英國第一艦隊抵達澳州後,對原住民的生活帶來破壞,而此後原住民的第四第五代卻志願參軍,為當時澳州這個年青國家而服役與戰死,直至今天都一樣,但澳州在過去一段時間都並未有表揚過他們。![An overview of the Australian War Memorial during the ANZAC Day dawn service in Canberra, Tuesday, April 25, 2017.
