WALK4REMEMBRANCE - APRIL 19
Following five years of remarkable success, the Walk4Remembrance is making a triumphant return in 2026.
This event provides a significant opportunity for our community to unite, fostering support, and raising awareness for veterans who have lost their lives to internal battles. By breaking the silence surrounding mental illness, we aim to contribute to the funding of impactful programs that are actively making a difference in the lives of veterans. Join us in this meaningful endeavour as we stride together towards a brighter future.
The approx. 8km walk will commence from Currumbin RSL Reserve out by the creek with the halfway turning point being at Tugun Surf Life Saving Club.
All funds raised will be donated to the Veterans’ Support Centre so they can continue to provide quality support and service to Veterans.
On the completion of the walk, a small cenotaph service will be held to remember those veterans who have lost their lives from the battle within.

AFGHANISTAN VETERANS COMMEMORATION DAY - OCTOBER 11 2026
Join us for our inaugural Afghanistan Veterans Day commemorations on Sunday 11th October. There will be a brief, meaningful service to recognise and honour Australians who served in Afghanistan, remember the 41 Australians who lost their lives, and acknowledge the families who supported them throughout their service.
Followed by a casual lunch. Designed to be respectful without being overly formal, the commemoration will include a veteran reflection, recognition of those who served across the Army, Navy and Air Force, acknowledgement of Military Working Dogs, a single wreath laying, recognition of families, a minute’s silence, The Ode, Last Post and Rouse. The commemoration will provide an opportunity to pause and reflect on the service, sacrifice and lasting impact of Australia’s involvement in Afghanistan, while ensuring the day remains centred on the veterans themselves.
Following the commemorative event, the day will transition into a casual lunch by the creek, giving Afghanistan Veterans and their families an opportunity to reconnect, share a meal and simply spend time together. Registration required for catering purposes. The focus will be on mateship rather than formality, with pizzas & finger food, licensed bar facilities, background music, creekside seating and a family friendly atmosphere. There will be no formal speeches or structured program, allowing veterans to spend the afternoon however they choose, whether that is catching up with old mates, meeting others who served, sharing stories or simply enjoying the afternoon with family.
The intention is simple: come as you are, reconnect with those who understand and enjoy an afternoon built around mateship. Registration required for each person attending the lunch.
