    Anzac Day Trust 
    Act or instrument Anzac Day Act 1995
    Functions

    Legislation was passed in 1964 that allowed places of public entertainment and amusement to trade on the afternoon
    and evening of Anzac Day. This signalled the end of an era in which Anzac Day was a ‘closed day’ and business
    trading was very restricted. The Anzac Day Trust Fund was established under this legislation and provides funding to
    organisations offering financial assistance and relief to ex-service men and women and their dependants.

    The Anzac Day Trust provides annual grants to institutions, organisations or associations that support the welfare of veterans and their dependants.

    The annual disbursement of the Trust Fund to more than 200 ex-service organisations supports:

    • the construction and maintenance of homes/units for war veterans
    • the welfare of spouses and children of deceased persons who served Australia in its defence forces
    • maintenance of essential services for veterans
    • hosting commemorative events and activities
    • many other services such as advocacy, functions and outings to reduce social isolation, hospital visits, food hampers and gift/amenities parcels for the sick.

    The Queensland Government continues to provide an annual grant to the Anzac Day Trust Fund.

    In addition, in 2021, the Anzac Day Trust offered the first round of the new Anzac Day Trust COVID-19 Grants
    Program. This program is providing $1 million over three annual rounds to support veterans affected by the COVID-19
    pandemic and to support ex-service organisations to deliver COVID Safe commemorative events.
    Achievements

    In 2021–2022, the Anzac Day Trust Board of Trustees approved funding to a total value of $2,102,035.41 (ex GST)
    across 254 applicants. There were 186 grants allocated through the Anzac Day Trust Grants Program and 68 grants
    allocated through the Anzac Day Trust COVID-19 Grants Program.
