Breakfast with Phillip Adams

Who better to kick start the Australian Identity & Culture program than one of our National Living Treasures – respected social commentator and columnist, Phillip Adams.

Phillip presented his thoughts on this subject at our October Networking Breakfast, held on Friday, 31 October at the Hilton Sydney. Click here to see images from the event.

With wit and humour Phillip’s opinions were inspirational and thought provoking. We wouldn't have expected anything less.

Presenting a fantastic new Partnership!

The Australia Day Council of NSW is pleased to introduce a prestigious new level of corporate sponsorship called ‘Presenting Partner’ - a rare opportunity to share our nation’s most important public event in the state and the city where our national story all began.

This strategic alignment provides an association with an iconic Australian brand – Australia Day – and positions each partner as being central to the Australian way of life and all it represents.
Presenting Partners will receive prominent state-wide branding association with Australia Day and placement at the pinnacle of our sponsor hierarchy. To ensure exclusivity, the opportunity is limited to only a small number of Presenting Partnerships at any one time.

Tailored programs and benefits are designed to deliver multiple corporate objectives including;

• Brand Alignment & Exposure,
