Private tour of the War Memorial for veteran families and war widows
Join us for a private tour of the Australian War Memorial. We’re inviting war widows, defence and veteran families to come along for a private group tour of the Australian War Memorial in Canberra on Friday 11 July 2025, brought to you by our Wellbeing Program.
Whether you’re a partner, parent, widow or adult child of someone who served, this is a chance to visit the Memorial with others who share a connection to defence life. It’s a relaxed, no-pressure way to spend time together, reflect, and meet people who understand the ups and downs of service and life around it.
