March for Australia was a series of nationwide protests in many Australian cities that occurred on 31 August 2025, 19 October 2025 and 26 January 2026 (Australia Day). The protests aimed to express discontent towards perceived mass immigration in Australia. The protests have been described as far-right and white nationalist by many commentators. Investigations by ABC News and The Age found the organisers of the rallies to have ties to various Neo-Nazi and white nationalist individuals, including the National Socialist Network.
The marches were promoted by various politicians and commentators, including One Nation leader Pauline Hanson, One Nation senator Malcolm Roberts, One Nation WA MLC Rod Caddies, federal MP Bob Katter, and the neo-Nazi organisation National Socialist Network. It was reported that the Sydney protest was organised by pseudonymous nationalist figure Bec Freedom.
The protests garnered significant media attention inside Australia and caused concerns among some migrant community groups. Police estimated the number of protesters and counter-protester attendees for the August protest to be more than 50,000 across the country for the initial August 2025 rallies. The October 2025 and January 2026 protests had lower attendance than the August 2025 rally.
