Legacy
There is now a public memorial to the Z Special Unit on the Cairns Esplanade. It was moved from the naval base HMAS Cairns and rededicated on 26 October 2007. Those present at the ceremony were original unit members George Buckingham, John Mackay and the then commander of Special Operations of the Australian Defence Force Major General Mike Hindmarsh. The RSL plans to erect a permanent display of military equipments nearby.
The Z Special Unit Association (NSW Branch) was disbanded in March 2010 due to a decline in members and thus, the Association's last Sydney ANZAC Day march was held in 2010.
The new jetty at Rockingham, Western Australia, has commemorative plaques to the Z Special Unit on each lamp post.
