110 years ago, Australian and New Zealand soldiers formed part of the Allied expedition that set out to capture the Gallipoli peninsula. They became known as Anzacs.

This year’s Anzac Day Commemorative Ceremony, co-hosted with New Zealand, will commence at 09.00am on Friday 25 April at the Pietà Military Cemetery. This service is dedicated to all those Australians and New Zealanders who lost their lives in action at Gallipoli in 1915 and in all subsequent military and peacekeeping operations, including current operations. It is also an occasion to acknowledge the role of Malta in the care of the sick and wounded.

The service is expected to last for approximately 45 – 60 minutes.

In accordance with the Anzac Day tradition, the event will be open to the public. 

We ask that guests and members of the public be seated by 08.45am.  

Members of the public who wish to lay a wreath are welcome to do so, once invited by the Master of Ceremonies.

Military medals may be worn.

Guests may wish to wear sunhats and other protection against the sun.

Information about changes to timing of the service, for example due to inclement weather conditions, will be published on the Australian High Commission website and social media channels.
