Let’s Build a More Informed Australia. 

It Starts with Civics!

The fabric of Australia is woven from our values, governance structures, and pluralist heritage. These threads come together through the people, laws, and institutions that shape our nation.

The Informed Fabric of Australia competition invites Years 7–10 students to explore the foundational threads that hold our nation together and examine the principles that safeguard our rights and freedoms. 

Through this competition, your class will have an opportunity to create a unique deck of ‘Fabric of Australia’ playing cards. They might even win one of their own!

With ready-to-use resources aligned to the national curriculum, students will activate prior knowledge, spark peer-to-peer conversations, encourage critical inquiry, and connect civic concepts to current events

Help your students become informed, active citizens.

Key dates

After 2025, the competition will be run twice a year in order to enable access for students covering relevant content in different terms.
