Harmony Day Celebrations
Harmony Day is held on 21 March each year and celebrates Australia's success as a diverse society united by a common set of values.
Since 1945 more than six million people have settled in Australia and in 60 years of post-war migration Australia 's population has jumped from 6 million to approximately 20 million.
Harmony Day recognises that Australians come from all over the world.
• 43 per cent of Australians were either born overseas or have at least one parent who was born overseas
• Overseas born Australians come from nearly 200 countries
• Some Australians have been here thousands of years
• We speak over 200 languages, including Indigenous languages.
