About the centenary

Mateship. Courage. Duty. Resilience. Sacrifice.

The government's commitment

To make sure the proud legacy of our Anzacs was preserved for future generations, $49.3 million was committed to help share the stories of our servicemen and women and honour their memories through:

  • Building lasting legacies—including restoring Queensland's State War Memorial Anzac Square, creating the Anzac Legacy Gallery, a permanent exhibition and gallery at the Queensland Museum, and collecting and preserving Queensland’s memories of the First World War.
  • Premier's Anzac Prize—provides successful students with a place on a study tour to London and the Western Front. The Queensland Anzac Centenary is proud to support this important initiative, which is run by the Department of Education and Training, in keeping the memory of our servicemen and women alive.
  • Supporting and delivering exhibitions, events, and more—including memorials, displays, commemorative rides, and performances that commemorate the Anzac Centenary.
  • Funding for community projects—to help communities and organisations commemorate the Anzac Centenary and history in their own way.
