Former prime minister Bob Hawke will be honoured at a state memorial service at the Sydney Opera House on June 14.
"Bob was a political giant and a national icon - it is fitting that a public celebration of his life will be held at such an iconic and beloved Australian venue," Prime Minister Scott Morrison said in a statement on Friday.
The event will be televised from 11.30am and free tickets to attend will be available from noon on May 29 via the Opera House website.
