ANZAC Day commemorations in 2020 and 2021 were severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. At least, the 2021 commemoration allowed small, ticketed events to take place with invitations extended to RSL members, veterans, and families.
In Berwick, there was no march this year and the broader public could not attend the small private service that took place. Instead, Casey residents were encouraged to pay their respects and/or lay a wreath at the cenotaph at another time. Nevertheless, quite a few people from the general public still gathered at the cenotaph to watch the service.

President David Button and Secretary Sam McCurdy met at the cenotaph at 9:00am to lay a wreath on behalf of the Rotary Club of Berwick, before the service began. The words on the card placed on the wreath are shown below.
