08.01.2022 RSL Victoria The Shrine of Remembrance is sacred, it is not a place of protest. It is RSL Victoria’s position that Melbourne’s Shrine of Remembrance is a sacred place, of critical importance to the current and ex-service members of our community, for commemorating service and for the remembrance of those who have died performing their patriotic duty. ... Under no circumstances, ever, should the Shrine be a place of protest.

05.01.2022 ONLINE EVENT - Join us on Tuesday, August 18 online to commemorate Vietnam Veterans Day, marking the anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan (1966), where D Company 6 Royal Australian Regiment (6RAR) fought a fierce battle against North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops close to the village of Long Tan. In 1969, 6RAR veterans held a memorial service there and, over time, the date became synonymous with all those who served in Vietnam, until 1987 when Prime Minister Bob Hawke officially declared Long Tan Day as Vietnam Veterans Day. Live stream service from The Shrine of Remembrance starts at 11am.
