Transport for Disabled Veterans for the ANZAC Day Parade

If you can no longer march the distance of the parade on ANZAC Day, there is a very willing group of voluntary drivers who will pick you up from your residence, assemble at The Esplanade, drive you through the parade, provide seating and light refreshments for the during the service, then return you to your home. This way you can still be involved in the parade.
This service has been provided since 1914 when one car picked up three veterans from Hollywood Hospital and drove them through the parade.
There is absolutely no charge for this service and the volutneer drivers consider it a privilege to be able to assist in this small way.

Please note that on 23 April collections can be made in public locations, these primarily are:

Streets / roads etc;
Railways;
Bus stops; and
Taxi ranks.

Shopping Centres, pubs, clubs, markets and the like are NOT classed as public places and therefore with approval of management of these premises, collections can occur prior to ANZAC Day.
The rules and regulations for collecting are the same as for the Poppy Day Appeal.
Congress 2000 resolved that all proceeds from the ANZAC Day Street Appeal would be divided equally, that is 50/50 between your sub-branch and State Branch (after costs) for the benefit of the health and well-being of current and ex-servicemen and women.
Sub-Branch members are requested to give the ANZAC Day Appeal the same support given to the Poppy Day Appeal, funds raised pay the maintenance of the provision of services to eligible recipients and for ceremonial and commemorative activities such as ANZAC Day / Remembrance Day and wreath laying services.
