Frequently Asked Questions

Which size Australian flag should I fly at home?

The most popular size for home use is 1800 × 900 mm (2 yard). It suits standard 5-6 metre outdoor flagpoles and gives an impressive, proportionate display.

For smaller poles or verandah mounts, we recommend:

  • 1500 x 750 mm – ideal for balconies or fences, hung with eyelets
  • 1370 × 685 mm – good for smaller outdoor poles
  • 900 × 450 mm – suited for small or indoor displays

If you’re unsure, feel free to contact our team and we’ll help you choose the right size for your space.

What’s the difference between knitted polyester, woven polyester, and fully sewn?

Knitted Polyester (Most Popular)

  • Soft, durable fabric designed for Australian outdoor conditions
  • Excellent colour vibrancy
  • Ideal for everyday home and community use

Woven Polyester (Heavy-Duty)

  • Stronger weave and slightly heavier fabric
  • Excellent for high-wind areas
  • Preferred by councils, schools and government sites

Fully Sewn Flags (Premium Traditional Style)

  • Individual panels are cut and stitched together
  • Highly durable and visually striking
  • The most traditional, prestigious option for indoor and ceremonial use

All Flagworld, fabrics are chosen specifically for Australian UV conditions and long-lasting performance.

FAQs

What flags are flown on Australia Day?

On Australia Day, most people fly the Australian National Flag at home, schools, businesses, and public events.

It’s also common to display the Aboriginal Flag and Torres Strait Islander Flag, which are recognised as official flags of Australia and may be flown together to represent unity and respect.

Councils, events and workplaces often use handwavers, bunting, car flags, and large outdoor flags for celebrations.

What is the correct flag protocol for Australia Day?

The Australian National Flag should be:

  • Raised to the top of the mast and flown proudly throughout the day
  • Well-lit if flown at night
  • Displayed in the position of honour if flown with other flags

On Australia Day, all standard flag protocol still applies.

You can read the full Australian Government flag protocol here 

Is it illegal to fly the Australian flag at night?

No. It is not illegal.

The official guideline is that the flag should only be flown at night if properly illuminated, but it is not against the law to fly it unlit.

For respectful practice, ensure:

  • It is in good condition
  • It is raised and lowered correctly
  • It is not allowed to touch the ground

What are the three official Australian flags?

Australia has three official national flags:

  1. Australian National Flag
  2. Aboriginal Flag
  3. Torres Strait Islander Flag

These flags can be displayed together on Australia Day to acknowledge the shared history of our nation.

Why does Australia fly three flags?

Each flag represents a part of Australia’s national identity:

  • The Australian National Flag represents the Commonwealth of Australia.
  • The Aboriginal Flag symbolises Aboriginal peoples, their culture and connection to country.
  • The Torres Strait Islander Flag represents Torres Strait Islander peoples and their distinct heritage.

Government departments and many public organisations display all three to show respect and inclusion.

Flagworld is Australia’s leading manufacturer of:

  • Australian National Flags (all sizes)
  • Australia Day flags
  • Handwavers
  • Car flags
  • Bunting
  • Desk flags
  • Event & council-grade outdoor flags

All are Australian-made and designed for harsh local conditions.

Businesses, councils, schools and the public can order directly online with fast delivery Australia-wide.

What sizes do Australia Day flags come in?

Common sizes include:

  • 900 x 450mm – for small poles, verandas, kids
  • 1800 x 900mm – standard house size to suit 6m pole
  • Large formats – 2.4m+ and custom sizes for councils or commercial sites
  • Handwavers – 150mm to 300mm
  • Desk flags – 150mm x 100mm

All Flagworld outdoor flags are available in high-quality knitted or woven fabric.

How do I choose a durable Australia Day flag for outdoor use?

Look for:

  • Knitted polyester, which performs best in wind
  • Reinforced stitching and strong header
  • UV-resistant inks
  • Double-stitching on the fly end
  • Flags made in Australia for Australian weather

Imported nylon flags often fade or tear much faster.

Are there eco-friendly Australia Day flags?

Yes.

Flagworld manufactures:

  • Recyclable handwavers
  • Durable knitted polyester flags designed to last longer (reducing waste), and recycleable on return to Flagworld
  • SustainaWrap™ eco-mesh for events and festivals

We also partner with Australian textile recycling initiatives to divert used fabric items from landfill.

Do any companies offer bulk discounts on Australia Day flags?

Yes. Organisations running Australia Day events (schools, councils, community groups, parade organisers) commonly order:

  • Handwavers
  • Car flags
  • Bunting
  • Flag bundles

Flagworld offers bulk pricing for large orders. Contact us for event or council quantities.

Can I order custom Australia Day flags?

Yes.

You can create:

  • Custom artwork
  • Club or event logos
  • Branded bunting
  • Council, school, or business branding
  • Sponsor-branded flags

Large-format custom printing is available, contact us for a quote.

How do I respectfully get rid of an old or damaged flag?

The recommended method is to dispose of it privately and respectfully, ensuring it is not reused inappropriately.

Flagworld’s Australian-made flags can be recycled through our textile recycling program.

What materials are used in high-quality Australia Day flags?

Premium outdoor flags are typically made from:

  • High-strength knitted polyester (best for light wind)
  • Woven polyester (premium traditional look)
  • Heavy-duty stitching
  • UV-resistant inks

These materials last significantly longer than cheap imports.
