Vietnam War MemorialPrint Page
The monumntcommemorates those who served in the Vietnam War between 1962 and 1975. The memorial was rededicated in 2016 and contains the original memorial rock unveiled in 2006 which was relocated from Vietnam Veterans Place located adjacent to the John Oxley Memorial.
Australia's military involvement in the Vietnam War began with the arrival of the Australian Army Training Team Vietnam (AATTV) in South Vietnam during July and August 1962. Australia's participation in the war was formally declared at an end when the Governor-General issued a proclamation on 11 January 1973.
However, the end-date of Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War has officially been amended to 29 April 1975 to reflect Australia’s further involvement in the war during the fall of Saigon in 1975. The Department of Veterans Affairs and the Australian War Memorial, in Canberra now recognise this new date.
