Saturday 25th April 2026 - ANZAC Day.
Today, we pause to honour the courage, sacrifice, and spirit of all those who have served and continue to serve our country. On ANZAC Day, we remember the bravery of the men and women who gave so much in the name of service, mateship, and freedom. Their legacy lives on in the values we hold and the communities we build together.
At APMHA, we pay our respects to all veterans and their families, and we reflect with gratitude on the freedoms we enjoy today because of them.

Lest we forget.
