Any veteran who wishes to participate in the Sydney CBD march will be required to register via the RSL NSW website.

In previous years, veterans and their descendants have not been required to register to march, with more than 12,000 taking to Sydney’s streets in 2019.

Earlier on Tuesday, Mr Morrison said he would like to see Anzac Day celebrations “return to normal as much as we possibly can”.

“I respect ultimately these are calls that have got to be made by state governments, but I want Anzac Day on,” he told reporters in Sydney.

“If people can party, and if people can protest, then we can remember as a nation and honour our veterans on Anzac Day. And I would like to see that done as fully and as safely as possible.”

In 2020, Anzac Day marches across Australia were cancelled as the nation entered strict coronavirus restrictions. In lieu of the march, “Light Up the Dawn” driveway services were held in neighbourhoods across the country.

Tuesday marked NSW’s 51st consecutive day of no locally acquired coronavirus cases.
