What is the true essence of Australia Day on January 26th? For the migrant community, it is a day of profound significance and a celebration of new beginnings. Join Mr. Murray Lees as he explains why this milestone is so deeply cherished by those who have settled in Australia.
WHY AUSTRALIA DAY IS UNIQUELY SPECIAL FOR MIGRANTS
In this video, Mr. Murray Lees—an expert with over 30 years of experience within the Australian Government—shares his insights into the key reasons why January 26th is a day like no other:
1. A Legacy of Discovery
January 26th commemorates the historical arrival of Captain James Cook. This event set the stage for the modern, multicultural nation Australia has become today—a land that thrives on the contributions of diverse individuals from around the globe.
2. A Life-Changing Milestone: The Citizenship Oath
This is the primary day for Citizenship Ceremonies across the nation. For migrants, the moment they take the oath is the culmination of years of hard work, marking their official transition to becoming proud Australian citizens.
3. Cultural Integration and Family Traditions
Celebrated as a “Family Day,” Australians gather to enjoy a traditional Lamb roast. For newcomers, it is the ultimate opportunity to embrace the welcoming spirit and the famous “fair go” lifestyle that defines the Australian identity.
4. Rewarding Dedication: Fair Work Standards
Australia deeply values the contribution of its workforce. Employees working on this public holiday are entitled to double or triple pay, reflecting the country’s high standards of labor welfare and social fairness.
