Australian identity is one of a series of eight titles designed specifically for upper primary students.
Australian identity investigates geographical, historical, international, political and sociological factors which have contributed to the formation of Australia's identity. Significant events, people, actions, beliefs and values are considered in reference to what makes Australians 'Australian'.
The widely-varied activities in this book cross all major learning areas but in particular connect to the key learning areas of English, Society and its Environment, Personal development/ Physical Education/ Health and The Arts.

The book has been organised into six units - Introduction, Geographical factors, Historical factors, Political factors and Sociological factors - which incorporate 20 topics which follow a similar format.

Each of the 20 topics is divided into groups of four pages:
- a teacher page
- a student information page
- a student comprehension page
- a cross-curricular activity
