Australian Citizenship Day 17 September

Home > For Your Calendar - Australian > Australian Citizenship Day

Promoted by the Australian Government Department of Immigration and Citizenship, Australian Citizenship Day is celebrated on 17 September every year.

Australian Citizenship Day provides a wonderful opportunity for all Australians to reflect on the meaning and importance of Australian citizenship.

We celebrate aspects of Australia and our way of life that unite us as a nation. We think about all the Australian citizens who have shaped our nation and we think about what it means to each one of us to be an Australian citizen.

You will find education resource material including lesson and activity ideas and accompanying student activity sheets, as well as some interactive fun for both primary and middle years students on this website.
