This Mother’s Day, we recognise all the mothers connected to our battalion—those who serve in uniform, and those who support from home.

Across our ranks are members who are mothers, members who are daughters, and families whose support helps make service possible. Many of our people carry both roles, balancing the responsibilities of service and family.

Service doesn’t happen in isolation. It’s made possible by the people who stand beside us, encourage us, and help us carry the responsibility that comes with wearing the uniform.

To every mother in our battalion community—thank you. Your impact is seen, valued, and respected.

Happy Mother’s Day. 💐

Held at the Nurses’ Memorial at Anzac Square, this moving service acknowledges the important contribution of nurses over the more than 125 years in which Australia has been involved in conflicts. The Vigil also commemorates nursing more widely.
