Australia Day

The National Australia Day Council (NADC) – with the support of the Federal Government – provide funding each year to community groups and councils to support local participation in Australia Day activities.

These events use the NADC’s ‘Reflect. Respect. Celebrate.’ branding and aim to be inclusive of all Australians.

They also include collaborations with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities on activities that reflect and respect the history of local Indigenous people and celebrate their culture.

Since 2021, the NADC’s Australia Day Community Events Grant Program has helped deliver more than 1000 community events, from Welcomes to Country to citizenship ceremonies, from morning teas to multicultural festivals.
