The Australia Day ceremony
Awards are presented at our annual Australia Day ceremony. The ceremony includes a citizenship ceremony for new Australian citizens, the awards presentation and a community gathering.
Reflecting on Australia Day
We acknowledge that Australia Day means different things to different people — a day to celebrate citizenship and community for many, and a day of mourning for many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Our ceremonies aim to be inclusive of both perspectives, with an Acknowledgement of Country and respect for the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters of our region.
