Who We Are

AUSSIEVAULT® is an initiative of the Australia Day Council of New South Wales (ADCNSW) that provides Australians with the opportunity to interact with all those things that drive our values throughout the year and in the lead up to Australia Day. It is an online social history hub that showcases Australian identity and culture, and you get to create the content!

Australia Day is about more than just one day. The essence of Australia Day is carried on throughout the year; we encourage you to interact with Australia Day in a way that is meaningful to you.

Sign up for the AUSSIEVAULT® newsletter to get all the latest news on the Living Australian Online Photography Competition, Reel Australia Short Film Competition, and all other upcoming AUSSIEVAULT® and Australia Day activity.

You can also join the conversation and become an Australia Day Facebook and Twitter fan.

A celebration of the many and varied valuable contributions that Australians make everyday; locally, nationally and internationally.

Every day, Australians of all ages, genders, religions and races are making their mark – on their local community, on the nation, in the world. We want people to reflect on these contributions through various creative media in the lead up to Australia Day 2012.

We like to think of ourselves as a nation of contributors. Of punching above our weight. Whether we’re volunteering at the local sports club, doing medical research, designing an art work or cooking the family roast, we’re contributing to a part of what makes this country great. But how would you capture your contribution to Aussie society? Or a contribution someone else has made that inspires you?

Is there one photo, one video or one paragraph that captures the essence of the Australian spirit, and how you or someone you know plays their part in cultivating it? If there is, we want you to share it with us. If there isn’t yet, we want you to create it.

So come on, make your mark, Australia!
