Across the MIA, traditional ceremonies will take place at cenotaphs and memorials, however the last remaining COVID-19 restrictions mean it still won't quite be fully back to normal.
In Griffith, people who wish to attend the ceremonies need to secure a free ticket, as there is a restriction on the number of people who will be allowed to enter Memorial Park.
The park will be fenced off as a maximum of 1000 people can attend the dawn service and 2000 the main service.
Free tickets are currently available from the Griffith Ex-Servicemen's Club, Griffith City Council administration building, the Griffith City Library or online through Eventbrite.
