The prospect of school children being involved in the Dean Street march and more people attending the dawn service and 10am service are growing following crisis talks in Sydney between the state government, health department officials and NSW RSL on Tuesday night.

Veterans are upset at the initial COVID-19 cap of just 500 for this year's parade in Sydney with an increase to 5000 tentatively agreed to with Prime Minister Scott Morrison endorsing the changes.

Albury sub branch president Graham Docksey said he was seeking urgent clarification on what they meant for Anzac Day events in regional areas.

"Things are up in the air now," he said.

"The changes could be for the better and I am determined to have Anzac Day activities regardless.

"It appears there is going to be a relaxation on who can attend, but at the moment school children are excluded from the march.

"I don't think we will get back to pre-COVID and there will be some requirement around who is attending and those sorts of things.

"But there is some relaxation on the horizon."

The RSL confirmed late on Wednesday that 3000 people could attend an Annzac Day march or service outside Sydney.

Mr Docksey said he would speak to Albury police and Albury Council events team leader Ros Walls once changes have been clarified.

One suggestion which had been under consideration before the crisis talks was erecting a large screen in QEII Square for members of the public to watch a live feed of the 10am service from Monument Hill.

After the 2020 Anzac Day activities were cancelled last year due to COVID-10, this year's events will be the first at Monument Hill since a $1.35 million upgrade of the precinct was completed and officially opened late last year.

Arrangements haven't been firmed up for Wodonga Anzac Day.

But, RSL sub branch president Jim Begley hoped a march could take place even if it was veterans only.

RSL representatives will discuss Anzac Day plans with Wodonga Council on Thursday.

"We hope to have a march, but we still don't know to what extent we can," Mr Begley said.

"The government wants to us to contain and control the people watching the march in High Street.

"That is impossible for us, but things are changing all the time."

In the absence of dawn services, marches and other commemorative events last year, Australians gathered at dawn in the driveways of their own homes in honour of those who served their country in war.
