Our Story
Learn about how the government was formed and what we've achieved over the years.
From Colonies to Nation
Australia began as six separate British colonies, each with its own government by the mid-1800s
The Road to Federation
In the 1890s, the colonies united to draft a Constitution, leading to the formation of the Commonwealth of Australia on 1 January 1901.
A Three-Level System
Federation created federal and state governments; local councils came later, set up by states for community-level services.
