The Australian National Flag may be used for commercial purposes, including advertising, without formal permission but subject to guidelines:

  • The flag should be used in a dignified manner and reproduced completely and accurately.
  • It should not be defaced by overprinting with words or illustrations.
  • Other objects in displays should not cover the flag.
  • All symbolic parts of the flag should be identifiable.

In regard to the importation of items bearing an image of the Australian National Flag, importers consult the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet for approval of the item before applying for an import permit through the Australian Customs Service.

If you have any questions about the appropriate use or representation of the Australian National Flag, please contact the Commonwealth Flag Officer by post or email.
