(It should be noted that a ballot will be conducted based on relevance to the RSL criteria for marching. We understand that it is not on a "first in" basis, and veterans will certainly be given preference in the final allocation including those from WW2 who will be picked up from home and escorted to a dedicated seating area.)
Here is the content of today's RSL announcement.
“As we know, under the
current health restrictions, the march to the Shrine of Remembrance has been
approved with a maximum of 5,500 participants marching along St Kilda Road.
It is important to note that we must adhere to all COVID-Safe requirements. The
health, wellbeing and safety of veterans and all of those in attendance at the
Melbourne Dawn Service and march is paramount.
Please note - when registering your wish to march:
- Registration does not
automatically guarantee a place
– once you submit your registration online, you will receive an automatic
response to let you know your registration has been submitted. Further
communications will be sent regarding your registration in the week
commencing Monday 13 April.
- Priority will be allocated to Australian and New Zealand
Veterans (current and former members of the Defence Force). If places
remain, tickets will then be assigned to allied forces, followed by
descendants.
- Allocation of tickets will be considered based on the time of when
registrations are submitted, and the priority listed above.
- All registrations will be
stored in a centralised system. If health advice changes to allow more
participants, additional tickets will be released accordingly.
If you have any queries please forward them to adminservices@rslvic.com.au and we will respond as soon as we can."
