Pride, passed down

We're bringing pride and participation back to Australia Day. A small flag in a child's hand is a positive, unifying symbol, and Australia Day should be a day every Australian can share.

It's about ordinary Australians holding up a flag and showing allegiance to the nation.The Celebrate OZ crew

Fair questions

Can't find your answer? Email us at contact@celebrateoz.com.

Why kids and flags?

National pride gets passed down. A small flag in a child's hand is a positive, unifying symbol, not a political statement.

Can I host a flag point in my suburb?

Yes. Anyone can register a flag point anywhere in Australia: a beach, park, main street or the front of the local shops. Register by Fri 8 January and we'll post you a kit.

Do the kits cost anything?

No. Kits are free and posted to your door. Donations help us cover the flags and postage, so we can send kits to more suburbs.

Is this a political movement?

No. Celebrate OZ is non-partisan and doesn't support or oppose any party, candidate or policy.

Are councils or businesses running it?

No. It's citizen-led. Everyone takes part voluntarily, in their own community.

Will there be protests or speeches?

No chanting, megaphones or demonstrations. Just a calm, family-friendly presence on the beach.

Does this dismiss our history?

No. We recognise Australia's full history. We just don't accept that celebrating the country and acknowledging the past can't go together.

Is this about "Change the Date"?

We're focused on celebrating, not opposing. We aren't campaigning against anyone; we help Australians who want to celebrate feel confident doing it.

Where does the money go?

Flags, on-site signage, volunteer uniforms and hats, and snacks and water for volunteers. Funds are used transparently.
