Welcome to the Australia Day Toolkit!
Local community events are integral to the success of Australia Day - our largest national day of celebration.
The Australia Day National Network is committed to resourcing community event organisers to help them deliver successful events and enhance their local celebrations.
In consultation with local Australia Day event organisers across the nation, the Australia Day Toolkit has been produced to provide community event organisers with relevant and useful tools and resources to enhance their events.
The Toolkit promotes the delivery of meaningful, inclusive events and encourages a greater connectivity and alignment of celebrations across the states and territories.
The Toolkit doesn’t purport to tell you how to run your event or dictate what your celebrations should consist of. Rather, it is designed to inspire and encourage users by providing comprehensive materials to guide you through all stages of your event, from brainstorming and planning through to delivery and evaluation.
Whether you are an experienced event organiser or planning an Australia Day community event for the first time, the Tool-Kit is your one-stop-shop!
Some of you will know this information well. For others, there is a lot of information to take in. Use the search function on the right of this page to better find what you’re looking for.
The Australia Day Toolkit is in its early stages. It will evolve, change and develop all the time. We hope your feedback on how it has helped you – and perhaps on what it's missing – will help make it even more useful.
If you don’t find what you’re looking for, email us: info@australiaday.org.au
We hope that you will find the Australia Day Toolkit practical and useful to your event planning and delivery.
Start using the toolkit by clicking on one of the themes (for example, Australia Day Ceremonies) in the menu on the right of this page. The 'Tools' are all structured in a similar way: with an introduction, followed by a number of resources, and then where to find further information.
The Australia Day Toolkit is a collation of information that has been offered by each state and territory Australia Day organisation and the National Australia Day Council to local community organising committees.
