Summary Statement of Significance:

The Australian War Memorial is Australia's National Shrine to those Australians who lost their lives and suffered as a result of war. As such it is important to the Australian community as a whole and has special associations with veterans and their families and descendants of those who fought in wars (Criteria A.4, H.1 and G.1).
