Harmony Week is held every year on the week of the 21 March to coincide with the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and celebrate Australia's cultural diversity.
The message of Harmony Day is that everyone belongs - it is a day of cultural respect for everyone who calls Australia home.
Between 1999 and 2020, more than 80,000 Harmony Week events had been held in childcare centres, schools, community groups, churches, businesses and federal, state and local government agencies across Australia.
