Request for Permission for Use of the Australian Coat of Arms

Application for Obtaining Permission for Use of the Australian Coat of Arms

The Commonwealth Coat of Arms is the pre-eminent mark of Commonwealth authority. Its use, with a few limited exceptions, is limited to the Commonwealth Parliament, the Government and the Federal Courts. However, since 1922, Australian representative national sporting teams participating in international competitions have been able to seek Commonwealth Government permission to display the Arms on their uniforms.

It is necessary to obtain permission from the Honours, Symbols and Territories Branch of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet to use the Australian Coat of Arms on a team uniform and any other support.

Any request for permission MUST be submitted by Australian Sailing. Class Associations should not contact the Government directly.

Australian Sailing must indicate their support of the request or permission will not be granted.
