The National Australia Day Council (NADC) is a not-for-profit, government-owned company based in Canberra. With the NADC, the Australia Day National Network (the Network), an affiliate group of state and territory organisations, helps facilitate the celebration of Australia Day and being Australian, and recognise inspirational Australians through the Australian of the Year Awards.
Strategic focus areas for the NADC are:
-
Meaning: through a range of initiatives and programs we promote the meaning of Australia Day by encouraging Australians to reflect, discuss and debate what it means to be Australian.
-
Participation: we promote active citizenship and encourage Australians to participate in celebrations and other activities focused on and around Australia Day.
-
Recognition: the contributions and outstanding service to the community that many Australians make are recognised and shared through the Australian of the Year Awards.
The operations of the company are overseen by a board of Directors appointed by the Prime Minister. The NADC is generously supported by the Australian Government through the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.
