Commemorating the Frontier Wars

RSL Australia invites veterans, families of veterans and their supporters to share their views about the creation of the new gallery at the Australian War memorial

The Australian War Memorial will open a new pre-1914 gallery, as part of its expansion, to recognise Australia’s Frontier Wars - a period of bloody conflict between British colonisers and First Nations peoples. The new gallery is scheduled to open in 2028.

RSL Australia recognises that veterans’ support for the gallery is divided and many in the veteran community have asked the RSL to take a stand, either in support of, or in opposition to, housing the Frontier Wars’ display at the Australian War Memorial.
