The Golden Wattle flag is a symbol of our nation’s diversity and aspirations of unity. It represents all the people of Australia, without distinction of culture, language, belief or opinion, united equally as one.

Design

The Golden Wattle flag features a green background with a single yellow emblem charged in the centre.

Inspired by Australia's national flower the golden wattle, the emblem represents seven stylised wattle blossoms arranged around the Commonwealth Star in the central void. The seven points of the star represent the Australian states and territories.

The circular arrangement suggests completeness and inclusion, or diversity and equality. No one part is superior to any other. The emblem also references the yellow sun on the Aboriginal flag and the central device and guiding star on that of the Torres Strait Islander flag.
