In 2024, in [[New South Wales]] it was proposed to change Anzac Day from a half-holiday to a full day, with many big supermarkets forced to stay closed for the whole day. Small cafes, newsagents and petrol stations can remain open. The [[Returned Services League]] (RSL), which represents serving and returned defence force people, is a strong supporter of this change.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.rslaustralia.org/about-us/ |title=RSL |access-date=11 August 2024 |archive-date=11 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240811104337/https://www.rslaustralia.org/about-us/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

In 2025, a bill was introduced by the New Zealand Government to change the official scope of ANZAC Day to include all persons, enlisted or not, who served New Zealand in times of war. This expands the previous definition, which was limited to service members who were involved in wars from World War I to the Vietnam War and service members who had died at any point. Neither definition involves participants in the [[New Zealand Wars]], although they are recognised on the National Day of Commemoration for the New Zealand Wars, albeit not with a public holiday.<ref>{{url| https://theconversation.com/a-law-change-will-expand-who-we-remember-on-anzac-day-the-new-zealand-wars-should-be-included-too-256682}}</ref>
