Harmony Day

Harmony Day banner Harmony Day logo

Harmony Day is celebrated on 21 March each year and is about bringing people together to promote Australian values and to celebrate community participation. It is a day to understand and commit to the benefits of living in a country that embraces common values of respect, fairness, participation, acceptance and a fair go for all.

As part of Harmony Day 2008, the forum "Australian Values - Common Sense?" was held to discuss and share different cultural views. Click here to read more about the outcome of this forum.
