home.

The message of Harmony

Day is 'everyone belongs'. The 

Day aims to engage people to

participate in their community, 

respect cultural and religious 

diversity and foster sense of 

belonging for everyone.

  

Official Color of the Day

Orange is the color chosen

to represent Harmony 

Day. Traditionally, 

orange signifies social 

communication

and meaningful conversations. It also relates to the 

freedom of ideas and encouragement of mutual respect.

Australians can choose to wear something orange on

21 March to show their support for cultural diversity 

and an inclusive Australia.

• Australia is a vibrant and multicultural country — from the oldest continuous culture of our first Australians to the cultures of our newest arrivals from around the world.

• Our cultural diversity is one of our greatest strengths and is at the heart of who we are. It makes Australia a great place to live.

• Multicultural Australia is an integral part of our national identity. All people who migrate to Australia bring with them some of their own cultural and religious traditions, as well as taking on many new traditions. Collectively, these traditions have enriched our nation.
