Anzac Day 2026

Anzac Day reminds us that service doesn’t stop when the uniform comes off. It carries on in our communities, in support networks, and in the opportunities we help create for those who’ve served, and those coming through.
Across New Zealand, we’re proud to support initiatives that back veterans, service personnel, and future generations, with a shared focus on the people behind the service.
In New Zealand, our support extends to veterans, their whānau, and the pathways that help shape what comes next:
• RNZRSA National Poppy Trust – supporting financial assistance, health and wellbeing services, and help navigating Veterans’ Affairs and ACC
• New Zealand Cadet Forces – enabling access to international exchanges, gliding programmes, and ongoing participation
• New Zealand Returned and Services’ Association – supporting veterans in transition, particularly into meaningful employment
• Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen’s Association of New Zealand – strengthening connection, wellbeing, and community through shared experiences
Anzac Day is a time to reflect. It’s also a reminder that ongoing support matters, before, during, and long after service.
