In less than a week, Australians will come together in streets, suburbs, towns and cities around the nation to reflect, respect and celebrate Australia Day 2021.
On Australia Day 2021, we reflect on the resilience of our communities, and the spirit of helping and giving that defines us as Australians.
We respect the selfless sacrifice of thousands of first responders and frontline workers who put the safety and well-being of others before their own.
And we celebrate those who worked through fire, flood and pandemic to protect life and property and keep our nation going.
The National Australia Day Council (NADC) has produced a range of resources to help ensure every Australia Day event is a success. These and some other useful tips are listed below.

The National Australia Day Council’s campaign celebrates the extraordinary achievement that is our nation. It is a story that began tens of thousands of years ago and has untold chapters still to write.
The stars of the campaign are everyday Australians from across the nation reading an original poem, The Story of Australia.
In 2021, the campaign recognises the contributions and sacrifices made by Australians in response to the coronavirus pandemic. People like Leanne, a nurse, and Alex, a primary school teacher.
Australia Day Date
Australia Day is a time for all Australians to come together to reflect, respect and celebrate.
The National Australia Day Council supports Australia Day on 26 January – our national holiday.
Australia Day is more than a commemoration of a single day in our nation’s history. It is the day, above all others, for Australians to reflect on our past, respect the contribution we all have to make and celebrate our nation and its people.
