Honouring theIR SERVICE
Service, bravery, integrity, respect, and excellence. These are the ideals that the Australian Defence Force stands for, and reflect how we honour our current and former serving personnel.
In this spirit, 55 organisations from around the country will share in more than $770,000 funding as part of the first round of the Albanese Government's 2024-25 Saluting Their Service Commemorative Grants Program.
This grant program funds projects that not only pay tribute to those who have served in our ADF, it also educates local communities on the defence of Australia, and our people at war.
Successful grant submissions feature a variety of commemorative activities, from cenotaph and sculpture refurbishments to the production of podcasts and video documentaries.
The Saluting their Service program plays a key role in ensuring that the ongoing service and sacrifices made by Australian service people and their families are recognised and remembered.
The current grant round is open until 5 February 2025, f
