About the Australia Day Council of South Australia

The Australia Day Council of South Australia (ADCSA) is an independent, non-profit, membership based association. Funding and support comes from the Australian Government (via the National Australia Day Council), the Government of South Australia, our membership base (including all Local Councils, Corporate Club and Individual Members), sponsorships, grants, merchandise sales and partnerships with like minded organisations.

To facilitate our aim of encouraging all Australians to 'Celebrate What's Great' about Australia and being Australian, a number of major events and programs are run that focus on Australia Day. National programs we coordinate at State Level include the Australian of the Year Awards, the Australia Day Ambassadors and the Australia Day Luncheon (sponsored by Australia Post). Our major Statewide events include the Adelaide City Council Australia Day Concert, the Australia Day Parade and our Australia Day Awards Ceremony at Government House. 

At State level, we run the Citizen of the Year Awards (also including Young Citizen and Community Event of the Year), the Premier's Award for Outstanding Community Service and the Minister for Education's Award for Excellence in Languages and Cultures. These Awards are all presented on Australia Day at our Awards Ceremony. 

The ADCSA acts as an umbrella organisation for Australia Day events providing marketing support to help spread the Australia Day message. At local Government level, the ADCSA provides support to Councils and organising committees for their 130+ Australia Day events including certificates and frames for their Australia Day Awards.
