Flag Protocol |
|
|
Carrying the flag |
When marching - Carry the National flag on the right in any procession or parade. If there are many other flags, carry the National flag in the front centre position. If you are carrying a flag - Hold the flag at a slight angle from your body. You can also carry it with one hand and rest it on your right shoulder. |
|
Multiple staffs |
If you display the flag on a staff with other flags around it, place the National flag at the centre and highest point. |
|
Crossed staffs |
Keep the flagstaff higher and on its own right. |
|
Behind a speaker |
Hang the National flag flat on the wall. Do not decorate the podium or table with the flag. Use bunting for decoration. |
|
Next to a speaker |
Place the National flag in a stand on the speaker/s right.
Use the same placement for a religious service. |
|
On a Casket |
Drape the National flag with its jack at the head and over the left shoulder of the body. Do not lower the flag into the grave. |
|
In a hall or lobby |
Hang the National flag vertically across from the main entrance with the jack to the left of anyone coming through the door. |
|
Half Mast |
Any house flags or other lesser flags on the same stand of flags should either be flown at half mast or removed. "Half mast" shouldn't be taken literally. The normal position is about one-third of the way down the pole, with at least one flag width clear above the flag. To correctly "Half mast" a flag you should hoist the flag to the top of the pole and lower it to the two thirds point. |
|
Upside down flag |
An upside-down flag is considered a distress signal. |
|
Other flags, seperate poles |
Hang all flags on equal size poles.
In a window Hang the flag vertically with the jack to the left of anyone looking at it from the street. |
|
One flag per pole |
ONLY ONE FLAG Per POLE, It is not correct to Hang the flag with any
other flag on the same pole |
|
At night |
Protocol demands that Flags should not be flown over night unless floodlit.
Also if flown 24 hrs a day they will not last as long as a flag flown from sunrise to sunset. |
|
Displaying the flag outdoors |
On a vehicle Attach the flag to the antenna or clamp the flagstaff
to the right fender. Do not lay the flag over the vehicle.
On a building Hang the flag on a staff or on a rope over the sidewalk with the jack away from the building.

Australian National Anthem
|
Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We've golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea.
Our land abounds in Nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In hist'ry's page, let ev'ry stage
Advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
"Advance Australia Fair."
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We'll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands;
For those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine
To Advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
"Advance Australia Fair." |
