About us
The Anzac Memorial Building, located in Hyde Park South, is NSW’s principal war memorial. It was dedicated in 1934 to commemorate the courage, endurance and sacrifice of Australians who served in the First World War. It was rededicated in 1984 to honour all Australians who have served in wars and peacekeeping missions. On 23 April 2010, the Anzac Memorial was included on the State Heritage Register as recognition of its heritage significance. As Australia marks the 100^th anniversary of the First World War, the NSW Government is enhancing the Anzac Memorial - the ‘Centenary Project’ - which will allow the Memorial to tell the stories of NSW’s involvement in all wars and peace-keeping missions while honouring those who have served. This includes the development of new exhibition spaces and a dedicated Auditorium for education and lifelong learning.

Our small, tight-knit team of casual Actor Presenters is key to providing a quality and meaningful experience for people of all ages who encounter the Memorial’s programs.
