The memorial is a large stone sculpture consisting of six sandstone columns in a hexagonal formation. They are joined at the top by sandstone 'beams', creating an open-topped structure. On the side of the pathway leading to the memorial are two bronze plaques detailing the dedication and unveiling of the memorial. Set into the floor inside the monument is a circular mosaic made of tiles and stone. The tiles around the edge of the circle bear an inscription. On the sides of the columns facing towards the circle are several bronze plaques dedicated to various areas of conflict where Australians have served.
