Who we are
We are Australians, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, who have the primary objective of ensuring that the Australian War Memorial properly recognises and commemorates the Australian Frontier Wars.
This objective is a key part of Truth-telling under the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
‘Defending Country’ is the common thread linking Australia’s wars at home and abroad.
Broadening the focus of the Australian War Memorial leads to reframing Australian commemoration as a whole.
