Australia is not a republic, so Australia does not have a republic day.

Australia's national day of celebration is Australia Day, January 26 of every year.

This is neither a "Republic Day" nor an "Independence Day" celebration, as it does not celebrate Australia's independence from Great Britain. It merely celebrates the arrival of the first Europeans to settle on Australian shores.

The closest Australia has come to an "Independence Day" is Federation, when the six states came together as one federated nation, under an Australian Prime Minister. This date is not celebrated annually, but it occurred on 1 January 1901.

As a British Colony and later a British Dominion Australia gradually gained more and more autonomy. It did not achieve full independent Sovereignty until 3 March 1986, when the Australia Acts came into effect, terminating all British jurisdiction over Australia.
