15.01.2022 We take this opportunity to inform the members of our Community and broader Greek Australian public that it is with deep regret that we are informing you of the cancellation of the Independence Day Parade for 2020. After lengthy discussions the Organisational Committee for Greek National Day fully understands the potential risk for the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) during this event. The decision to cancel was also based on information provided by Medical Pra...ctitioners, the Ministry of Health, Church Leaders, School Principals and a lot of feedback from the general School population. The committee has not taken this decision lightly, however understands that the safety of our community is paramount. We recognize that the timing of this decision may have significantly inconvenienced many of you. However, this decision was made out of deep concern for the health and well-being of our children, Grandparents and the greater Greek community as well as the Melbourne community at large.

07.01.2022 This morning in his press conference, the Premier Mr. Dan Andrews used the cancellation of Greek National Day Parade as an example of common sense amongst our community organisations. A simple reminder to those critics that have judged the Organisational Committee for making the wrong decision.

03.01.2022 The Organisational Committee for Greek National Day is hosting the 2020 Greek Parade & Greek Australian Commemorative Service on Sunday 22nd March 2020, commencing at 12.30pm at the Shrine of Remembrance.
