For most people, this refers to the states of Australia uniting to become one nation.

Australia achieved Federation, becoming the Commonwealth of Australia, on 1 January 1901. This is, in the classic sense, regarded as when Australia became a new nation.

To go deeper, one can consider the following:

Australia remained a Colony of the British Empire until His Majesty King George V proclaimed Australia a Dominion of the British Empire in 1911. Australia remained a Dominion of the British Empire until 1919.

The historical evidence of Australia achieving nationhood status for the first time in 1919 following the end of WW1 is available for all to read in the 10 September and 1 October 1919 Hansards of the House of Representatives and Senate.
