The Flanno March is held on the Winter Solstice - the longest night of the year - to honour veterans lost to su***de and recognise the families, friends and communities left behind.

The Winter Solstice marks a turning point. From the deepest darkness, the light slowly returns.

This year, join us in Townsville for a short hike to the historic Pallarenda bunkers, followed by morning tea and guest speakers sharing their lived experience.

Together, we remember. Together, we support. Together, we remind one another that no one has to walk this path alone.

You are not alone. We are all in this together.

Today we pause to remember the courage, sacrifice, and service of our Australian Defence Force members — past and present.
We honour those who gave their lives for the freedoms we cherish, including those impacted and lost to silent wounds through the course of duty.

The Flannel Project began with one story. Shan’s.

She was 29. A veteran. A friend. And last year, we lost her to su***de. Her death left a hole that can never be filled. But Shan’s story is not hers alone. It represents more than 1,600 veterans lost since 1997, and the families left carrying that grief.

Right now, there is no national day to recognise these lives or give families a place to honour them. Flannel Flower Day on June 21 would change that. A day of remembrance, reflection and support for the survivors who are so often forgotten.

We need 20,000 signatures to make this real. Please sign and share the petition. Every name matters.

The Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Su***de delivered its Final Report in 2024. It was meant to be a turning point but since then, 96 more veterans have died by su***de.

That brings the total to more than 1,600 lives lost since 1997, leaving over 216,000 families grieving.

Australia honours service and sacrifice in many ways, but there is no national day to recognise veterans lost to su***de or to support their families. Flannel Flower Day can change that.

We need 20,000 signatures to make June 21 a National Day of Remembrance. Every signature matters.

We Need Your Signature ✍️

Every five days, we lose a veteran to su***de in Australia. Behind every number is a family, friends, and a community left grieving.

That’s why we’re calling for Flannel Flower Day, a national day of remembrance and hope. A day to honour those we’ve lost, and to stand beside the survivors left behind.

👉 We need your help to make it happen.

One of our veterans dies by su***de every five days.

Last year, 73 lives were lost, including our beautiful Shan. 💔

Today ABC confirmed what too many of us already know: this crisis isn’t slowing down. Behind every number is a name, a family, a story.

That’s why we’re fighting for Flannel Flower Day, 21 June, the winter solstice. A day for all of Australia to stop, remember, and say their names. 🌸

👉 Please, add your voice: https://www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/petition/EN7689

Imagine if every one of us shared this. Together, we could turn these numbers into change. 💜

Figures released today reveal there has been a slight decrease in the number of deaths by su***des by serving and former Australian Defence Force members.

🌸 Flannel Flower Day Petition — Please Sign & Share 🌸

Since 1997, more than 1,600 Australian veterans have died by su***de. And since the Royal Commission’s Final Report last year, another 96 lives have been lost.

Families are left grieving in silence, with no official day to honour their loved ones.

We’re calling for Flannel Flower Day — June 21st, the winter solstice — to be recognised as a national day of remembrance for veterans lost to su***de. A day that symbolises the journey from darkness into light. A day to give families somewhere to place their grief, and for Australia to acknowledge the true cost of service.

🌼 Why the flannel flower?
The flannel flower is Australia’s national flower for mental health. It grows in harsh conditions yet remains soft and gentle — a symbol of resilience, healing, and hope. Just like our veterans and the families left behind.

👉 Please sign the petition and help us reach 20,000 signatures:

Every signature is a step toward recognition, healing, and change.
💛 These lives mattered. Their families deserve to be seen.
