Upcoming Events
AUSTRALIA DAY CELEBRATION
The Australia Day 2026 theme is "Reflect, Respect, Celebrate – we're all part of Australia's story". This theme encourages Australians to reflect on the nation's past, show respect for all experiences and contributions, and celebrate what it means to be Australian today and in the future. The goal is to foster a sense of unity by acknowledging both the nation's achievements and the complexities of its history.
Reflect: Think about Australia's journey and history, including both triumphs and challenges.
Respect: Value the diverse experiences and contributions of all Australians, particularly First Nations peoples.
Celebrate: Come together to celebrate what is great about the nation and re-commit to making it a better place for everyone.
