What is Harmony Day?

Harmony Day was created in 1999 to celebrate unity and diversity. It was at first an Australian celebration, however, it is now celebrated worldwide. The celebration itself recognises our diversity and brings together all Australians raising awareness for inclusiveness, respect and a sense of belonging. You can wear orange to show your support, or attend a Harmony Week event.
