Submissions to the National Commission on the Commemoration of the Anzac Centenary
Public Submissions
The Anzac Centenary public submission process was one part of a broader consultation undertaken by the National Commission. Though this process closed on 17 September 2010, the Commission continued to consider submissions lodged up to 31 December 2010.
The Commission received over 600 submissions containing more than 1500 ideas about the sort of activities and events that might form part of the commemoration of the Anzac Centenary. These ideas and other consultation, have assisted the National Commission to report to Government about recommendations for the broad scope and shape of a commemorative program to mark the centenary.
The Commission’s call for public submissions had a stated purpose to, “gather views about how Australia should commemorate and recognise the Anzac Centenary” and the Commission extends its thanks to all those who have contributed to the submission process. While some of the submissions were framed as funding bids or requests for approval, it was not part of the Commission’s role to consider the level of centenary program funding or determine which submissions should or could be supported. The National Commission’s report does recommend that a process be established to support local community projects during the centenary period 2014-2018.

About the Public Submissions
A number of submitters requested that their submission, or part thereof, remain confidential and be made available only to the National Commission. All non-confidential submissions can be viewed on this website. Where possible, the descriptions and language used by submitters to outline suggestions or describe in detail their ideas, has been retained. In some cases the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) has summarised submissions.
DVA seeks to comply with the Information Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (the Privacy Act) in the collection, storage, use and disclosure of personal information in its possession. The Privacy Act provides for specific rights and remedies of individuals in the event of a breach by the department of its duties under the act. DVA has taken all reasonable measures to ensure that, except for the submitter’s name, all personal contact details have been omitted from submissions.
Some submissions contain external website links. DVA does not accept responsibility for information on any web site beyond it’s own. In some cases the material may incorporate or summarise views, standards or recommendations of third parties. Such material is assembled in good faith, but does not necessarily reflect the considered views of the Commonwealth, or indicate a commitment to a particular course of action.
