Two more people have today been charged for allegedly disrupting this year's Anzac Day service at Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance.

A 26-year-old man and another man aged 22, both from the city, were the latest accused of disturbing the dawn service at the shrine on April 25.

They've been charged with behaving in an offensive manner in a public place, offending against decency and taking part in a disturbance.

A man, aged 23, from eastern Melbourne, was charged with the same offences earlier this month.

The three men will appear in court in November.

Victorian dignitaries, spectators and veterans were listening to an Indigenous elder at the Shrine of Remembrance when a small number of people allegedly started booing.

Federal and state politicians, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, condemned the disturbance alongside veterans organisations.

Police are still investigating the matter.

Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or to make an online report.
