With Other National
General Notes:
When the Australian flag is flown with other National flags all the flags
and flagpoles should be of the same size. National flags should not be flown
together on the same flagpole. International protocol is that one National
flag should not fly higher than another.
However the Australian flag takes the position of honour. (refer to following
diagrams)
When raising flags, the Australian should be raised first and when lowering,
the Australian lowered last. However if all flags can be raised and lowered
together then that procedure should be followed.
When flying with one other National flag the Australian flag should be on the left flagpole.
In a line of National flags where the number is odd and only one Australian flag is available, it should be flown in the middle.
In a line of National flags where the number is even and only one Australian flag is available, it should be flown on the left.
In a line of National flags where the number is even and two Australian flags are available, they should be flown at either end. Ensure the flagpoles are the same height.
In a semi circle of National flags the Australian flag should be flown in the middle.
In a circle of National flags the Australian flag should be flown immediately opposite the entrance to the building or arena.
When crossed with another National flag, the Australian flag should be on the left side and its staff should cross in front of the staff of the other flag.
