The memorial is a hewn-granite rock, faced with a bronze dedicatory plaque. The whole is set within a raised garden bed and accompanied by a flagstaff.

The below is an excerpt from a media release from The Hon. Danna Vale MP Minister for Veterans' Affairs, Minister Assisting the Minister for Defence, on Bardia Day 2002:

More than 300 000 Australians were conscripted from all walks of life into military service during the 50s, 60s and 70s,' Minister Vale said. 'National Servicemen, or 'nashos' as they were affectionately known, made a vital contribution to our Defence Force in a time of need.' The Minister said that National Servicemen went on to serve with the regular forces in the Korean War, Malayan Emergency and Borneo during the Indonesian Confrontation. More than 17 000 National Servicemen served with distinction in South Vietnam.
