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. We’re all part of the story’ 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.

The Australia Day 2024 Community Event Grants program will open Tuesday 3 October 2023
