Protecting Our National Flag

Australian National Flag Association

Leading the defence of our
most important national symbol

Our History

On 6 October 1983, Sir Colin Hines OBE, a prominent Returned Serviceman, gained agreement to launch the Australian National Flag Association (ANFA).

Soon after, ANFA proposed that 3 September every year be observed as Australian National Flag Day - an occasion still observed today.

The ANFA continues to be the peak national body for the preservation and celebration of our most important national symbol - our national flag.
