A day shift with the Shrine Guard 🕊

When they’re not in their greens, the Shrine Guard are in their blues protecting Victoria’s largest war memorial – the Shrine of Remembrance. 

The Shrine Guard, comprised of our Protective Services Officers, carry out their duties 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Trained in military drill, Shrine Guards also provide ceremonial support.

It’s a unique role that exists in Victoria Police; one which carries a rich history dating back to 1935.

Here’s what a day could look like as a Shrine Guard:

0700 Raising of the flags
0730 Morning rounds and patrols commence
0800 Patrols continue, providing security and checking for damage/vandalism
1000 Uniform change rehearsal or ceremony
1030 Inspecting uniform and equipment
1100 Practise or rehearsals depending on the week’s schedule
1200 Break / de-kit
1300 Patrols continue throughout the day
1700 Lowering of the flags

This year marks the Shrine Guards 90th anniversary. A ceremony will be held on Sunday 6 April to commemorate this. The event is open to the public. Head to the shrineofremembrance website for more details.
