Chair’s Message<br />

<strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Day</strong> is <strong>the</strong> day that we celebrate<br />

all that is great about <strong>Australia</strong> and being<br />

<strong><strong>Australia</strong>n</strong>. It affirms our commitment<br />

to playing an active part in <strong>the</strong> life <strong>of</strong> our<br />

remarkable nation.<br />

The National <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Day</strong> Council (NADC)<br />

delivers a number <strong>of</strong> programmes that aim<br />

to engage every <strong><strong>Australia</strong>n</strong> in <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Day</strong><br />

reflection, celebration and participation. Two<br />

NADC events - Dawn and <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Day</strong> Live!<br />

– are particularly noteworthy for growing <strong>the</strong><br />

traditions <strong>of</strong> <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Day</strong>.<br />

Dawn provides <strong>the</strong> nation with a moment <strong>of</strong><br />

reflection on what it means to be <strong><strong>Australia</strong>n</strong> before<br />

<strong>the</strong> day itself. This year, <strong>the</strong> Governor-General,<br />

His Excellency Major General Michael Jeffery<br />

AC CVO MC, was joined by ACT <strong><strong>Australia</strong>n</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>Year</strong> Michael Milton and <strong>the</strong> Young <strong><strong>Australia</strong>n</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Year</strong> finalists on <strong>the</strong> summit <strong>of</strong> Mt Stromlo<br />

to contemplate <strong>the</strong> meaning <strong>of</strong> 26 January. In its<br />

third year, Dawn is a vital part <strong>of</strong> building on <strong>the</strong><br />

reflective nature <strong>of</strong> <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Day</strong>.<br />

<strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Day</strong> Live! on <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Day</strong> eve<br />

launches <strong>the</strong> beginning <strong>of</strong> festivities with<br />

a nationally broadcast concert held in <strong>the</strong><br />

capital city. The event aims to encourage every<br />

<strong><strong>Australia</strong>n</strong> to celebrate our national day in<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir own way: from hosting a backyard BBQ to<br />

attending an <strong><strong>Australia</strong>n</strong> Citizenship ceremony.<br />

Both <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se programmes go to <strong>the</strong> heart <strong>of</strong><br />

two <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> NADC’s key goals for <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Day</strong>:<br />

meaning and participation.<br />

National <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Day</strong> Council annual report 2006-2007<br />

A third goal is recognition, and this comes<br />

through <strong>the</strong> <strong><strong>Australia</strong>n</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Awards</strong>.The<br />

awards programme has gone from strength<br />

to strength with 3,263 nominations and 111<br />

inspirational finalists drawn from across <strong>the</strong><br />

nation this year. The national recipients for 2007,<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Tim Flannery, Mr Phillip Herreen,<br />

Ms Tania Major and Mr Shanaka Fernando, are<br />

outstanding <strong><strong>Australia</strong>n</strong>s. Their stories encourage<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r <strong><strong>Australia</strong>n</strong>s to play an active part in<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir nation and this year’s expansion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Tour <strong>of</strong> Honour programme has increased <strong>the</strong><br />

opportunities for <strong><strong>Australia</strong>n</strong>s to hear from this<br />

amazing group first hand.<br />

Ano<strong>the</strong>r significant activity in 2007 was Look Up<br />

and Smile. This event photographed <strong>the</strong> beauty<br />

and celebration <strong>of</strong> <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Day</strong> from space and<br />

high up in <strong>the</strong> sky, and saw <strong>the</strong> creation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

largest ever Aboriginal artwork recorded at New<br />

Norcia in Western <strong>Australia</strong>.<br />

These initiatives are achieved through <strong>the</strong> NADC<br />

and its broad network <strong>of</strong> affiliates and partners.<br />

On behalf <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> NADC, I want to thank our state<br />

and territory colleagues, our corporate partners<br />

and supporters and <strong>the</strong> <strong><strong>Australia</strong>n</strong> Government<br />

for <strong>the</strong>ir enthusiastic support for our work.<br />

The NADC board and I look forward to<br />

continuing to inspire national pride and spirit<br />

and encouraging <strong>the</strong> celebration <strong>of</strong> <strong>Australia</strong><br />

and being <strong><strong>Australia</strong>n</strong>.<br />

National Director’s Report<br />

The National <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Day</strong> Council’s programmes<br />

encouraged reflection and celebration for<br />

<strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Day</strong> and <strong>the</strong> prominence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong><strong>Australia</strong>n</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Awards</strong> continued to inspire national<br />

pride and active citizenship this year.<br />

On <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Day</strong> 2007, 28% <strong>of</strong> <strong><strong>Australia</strong>n</strong>s<br />

attended an organised <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Day</strong> event and<br />

a fur<strong>the</strong>r 26% <strong>of</strong> <strong><strong>Australia</strong>n</strong>s celebrated with<br />

family or friends with <strong>the</strong> clearly articulated<br />

intention <strong>of</strong> acknowledging <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Day</strong>.<br />

We have been delighted to see an enhanced<br />

understanding <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> meaning <strong>of</strong> <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Day</strong><br />

as being more than simply a public holiday. For<br />

example, <strong>the</strong> top reason for celebrating <strong>Australia</strong><br />

<strong>Day</strong> cited in NADC commissioned research was<br />

to celebrate being <strong><strong>Australia</strong>n</strong> and to celebrate<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong><strong>Australia</strong>n</strong> way <strong>of</strong> life. 1<br />

There was also a record number <strong>of</strong> nominations<br />

for <strong>the</strong> <strong><strong>Australia</strong>n</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Awards</strong>. We<br />

were pleased to learn that 81% <strong>of</strong> <strong><strong>Australia</strong>n</strong>s<br />

considered <strong>the</strong> <strong><strong>Australia</strong>n</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Awards</strong><br />

important to <strong>the</strong> life <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> nation. Of particular<br />

interest is <strong>the</strong> strong support from younger<br />

<strong><strong>Australia</strong>n</strong>s with 91% <strong>of</strong> people aged 18-24<br />

considering <strong>the</strong> <strong>Awards</strong> important. 2<br />

<strong>the</strong> Network, being:<br />

» National Marketing<br />

» Community Capacity Building<br />

» Shared Programmes and Partnerships.<br />

The national network <strong>of</strong> state and territory<br />

<strong>Australia</strong> <strong>Day</strong> affiliate organisations has<br />

Assets are brought to account at cost. Assets<br />

or groups <strong>of</strong> assets purchased costing $500<br />

and over are capitalised. Assets purchased<br />

costing under $500 are expensed in <strong>the</strong> year<br />

<strong>of</strong> purchase. Assets are revalued to fair value<br />

and corporate sponsorships in cash and in kind<br />

are recognised as revenue in <strong>the</strong> period to which<br />

<strong>the</strong>y relate and are recognised at an estimated<br />

fair value on receipt. Revenue from <strong>the</strong> sales <strong>of</strong><br />
