The National Australia Day Council is the coordinating body for Australia Day activity across the nation and for the prestigious Australian of the Year Awards. The NADC heads a network of eight state and territory Australia Day affiliate organisations and 780 local Australia Day committees. We’re all part of the story of Australia – from those whose ancestors walked on County for tens of thousands of years to the newest Australian citizens. On Australia Day, we reflect on our past, accept the truth of our history and respect that we all have a contribution to make to the Story of Australia. We also celebrate being part of a diverse and multicultural nation.
