National symbols of Australia are the official symbols used to represent Australia as a nation or the Commonwealth Government. Additionally, each state and territory has its own set of symbols.
Informal national symbols have also played an integral part in the cultural development of Australia. These include natural and invented artefacts associated with Australia, as well as things seen to represent or personify shared ideals, attitudes or concepts such as egalitarianism. For example, the Commonwealth Star evokes the Federation of Australia.
