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.
