 Located on Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia - a popular tourist location - the Museum was officially opened by the Victorian Premier, Mr Steve Bracks MP on the 9th March 2007. From it's initial concept - a Land rover and trailer touring Australia - equipment, photos and stories were donated and added to the collection.

The National Vietnam Veterans Museum is the only Museum of its kind in Australia that covers a specific period in Australia's military history. The collection of around 6000 artefacts exists to permanently record Australia's longest commitment to any war, a period of 10 years that spanned from 1962 to 1972.

It presents the story of Australia's military involvement at a time of deep division among the Australian population over conscription. The Museum is of great historical and cultural significance for Australians of all ages and also provides a nostalgic meeting place for Veterans and their families.
