"Sometime overnight, offenders targeted our building with hateful graffiti containing anti-veteran, anti-Australian Defence Force and deeply offensive slurs," the statement said.
"These messages were sprayed across multiple external walls of our club on one of the most sacred and significant days in our national calendar.
"To deliberately target a veterans' organisation on ANZAC Day is disgraceful. It was clearly intended to cause hurt, division and distress to veterans, serving members, their families, and the broader community who gather each year to honour sacrifice and service.
"Despite this hateful act, the offenders failed in their objective.

"Following the service, many attendees and members were unfortunately exposed to the graffiti while attending our traditional Gunfire Breakfast. While upsetting, the overwhelming response from the public was one of unity, support and condemnation of those responsible.
"Today, as always, Reservoir stood together."
Victoria Police has been contacted for comment.
