Promoting Our
British Heritage
The British Australian Community is the only representative organisation for Australians and Australian residents whose family background is from the British Isles.
Our aim is to preserve the unique form of culture that developed in Australia and to grow in positive ways as Anglo-Australians with healthy roots.
We represent the interests of our community by providing leadership and support.
Senate Report into Nationhood, National Identity and Democracy Acknowledges BAC's Submission
As part of our mission to represent the interests of our community, the British Australian Community made a formal submission to the recent Senate Inquiry into Australia’s nationhood, national identity and democracy.
We submitted that a rise in ethnic diversity has led to a decline in social cohesion in Australia. To re-establish social cohesion, we proposed that Australia’s immigration policy be adjusted by increasing the proportion of migrants from the British Isles. We also proposed the introduction of a civics education program in schools that teaches and promotes Australian values derived from our national history and heritage.
