As we approach Anzac Day 2023, Aster Home Care is proud to reflect on the service and sacrifice of the brave men and women who have served in the Australian and New Zealand armed forces. As a provider of in-home nursing care, we have had the privilege of caring for many veteran clients and their spouses over the years, and we recognise the immense sacrifices they have made for our country. This year, Anzac Day holds even greater significance as it marks the 108th anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli, and we are proud to announce that we will be attending the Burleigh Heads Dawn Service to pay our respects.

At Aster Home Care, we believe that it is our duty to honour and remember our veterans, not just on Anzac Day but every day. That is why this year, in addition to our in-home nursing care services, we are pleased to be delivering Anzac Cookies to our veteran clients and their spouses as a symbol of our respect and gratitude for their service. The Anzac Cookie has become an iconic symbol of Anzac Day, and its history is steeped in the service and sacrifice of our troops.

Our in-home nursing care services are designed to provide compassionate and personalised care to our veteran clients and their spouses, helping them to maintain their independence and quality of life. We believe that this care should be delivered with the utmost respect and gratitude for their service, and we are honoured to be able to provide it.

The Dawn Service is a poignant and solemn event, and we are honoured to be able to attend and pay our respects to those who have served. On behalf of Aster, Petrina Carter, Nursing Team Leader (and ex-Army Nursing Corps), will lay a wreath to show our support and solidarity with the veteran community and to honour their service and sacrifice. The Dawn Service will run from 4:15am – 5:30 am, and is to be held at the Memorial Park Cenotaph, corner of Connor Street and Gold Coast Highway, Burleigh Heads.

As we approach Anzac Day 2023, let us remember the sacrifices made by our veterans, and let us honour their memory with compassion, respect and gratitude. We encourage you to join us to commemorate this special day, and to pay your own respects to the brave men and women who have served our country.
