Indigenous art and our passport

This Reconciliation Week we’d like to shine a spotlight on the Indigenous artwork in our passport’s design.

Indigenous art has featured in Australia’s passport since 2009. 

Our latest passport features elements from two renowned Aboriginal artworks. 

The watermark security feature is based on Uta Uta Tjangala’s painting, Yumari (1981). 

Motifs from Michael Nelson Jagamara’s painting, Possum and Wallaby Dreaming (1985), appear throughout the passport.

You can find out more about the Indigenous artworks in Australia’s passport on our website.
