Funding and support comes from the Australian Government (via the National Australia Day Council), the Government of South Australia, our membership base (including all Local Councils, Corporate Club and Individual Members), sponsorships, grants, merchandise sales and partnerships.
To facilitate our aim of encouraging all Australians to 'Celebrate What's Great' about Australia and being Australian, a number of major events and programs are run that focus on Australia Day. National programs we coordinate at State Level include the Australian of the Year Awards, the Australia Day Ambassadors and the Australia Day Luncheon. Our major Statewide events include the Adelaide City Council Australia Day Concert, the Australia Day Parade and our Australia Day Awards Ceremony at Government House.
At State level, we run the Citizen of the Year Awards (also including Young Citizen and Community Event of the Year), the Minister for Education & Development's Award for Excellence in Languages and Culture and the "Women Hold Up Half The Sky" Award. These Awards are all presented on Australia Day Eve at our Awards Ceremony.
