In April 2005, the South Australian Parliament
passed the ANZAC Day Commemoration
Act 2005, the object of which is to ensure
that the contribution of all men and women who
have served Australia in time of war or armed
conflict, or in international peace-keeping
operations, is recognised and commemorated in
South Australia. The Act came into operation
on 15 March 2007.
The Act establishes both the ANZAC Day Commemoration
Council and the ANZAC Day Commemoration Fund. In
addition, the Act limits public sporting and
entertainment events on ANZAC Day.
