National Police Legacy Day
17 June, 2027
This important day honours the vital work of the nation’s eight Police Legacy organisations and raises awareness of the invaluable support they provide to police and their families.
Every Australian state and territory have its own Police Legacy organisation, each committed to caring for those who serve, and the families left behind.
National Police Legacy Day is celebrated annually on 17 June, marking the anniversary of the first Australian Police Legacy organisation established in Queensland in 1971.
It is a national day of unity dedicated to honoring fallen officers and celebrating the vital support provided to the families they leave behind
Old Treasury Building will be lit in purple for this event from sunrise to sunset.
