Who can participate in the Sydney CBD March this year:

RSL NSW is working with the NSW Government to ensure that a COVID-safe March can take place in the Sydney CBD. The Minister for Health and Medical Research has granted an Exemption to the Public Health Order for 10,000 marchers to participate on 25 April including:

• Current serving members and veterans of the Australian Defence Force
• Descendants of the Australian Defence Force
• Veterans of a Commonwealth or Allied Force and their descendants
• Banner and banner parties
• Bands (invites to be extended by RSL NSW)

Veterans can march with their relevant unit, ship, squadron, or association and behind their banners.

To comply with the guidelines to the Exemption to the Public Health Order, RSL NSW is required to collect the names and contact details of all marchers for COVID-19 contact tracing purposes.

Any veteran or descendant who does not register with an association can participate in the Sydney CBD March. Check-in for contact tracing purposes will be required on the day.

Veterans who have previously registered to participate in the Sydney CBD March will not be required to re-register and tickets will not be issued.
