Our purpose is to foster public knowledge about and conserve places and objects that are significant

The National Trust of Australia (ACT)was established because there were concerns that the heritage of ACT - Aboriginal, colonial, natural and early National Capital - needed recognition, documentation and protection. Although we do not own or manage historic properties we concentrate our efforts on research and publishing the results of our research, providing services to our members and providing expert advice to the government and other agencies.

The Canberra Olympic Pool (Canberra City) c1955 is an iconic example of mid-century architecture, recognised and loved by Canberrans. Its nomination to the ACT Heritage Register was rejected in 2014.

National Trust ACT is conducting a social value survey with a view to generating new information that may support renomination of this significant place. The survey only takes a few minutes to complete so please, if the place or image mean something to you, complete our survey now! Head to the National Trust ACT website News section for more information.

The National Trust ACT Heritage Awards celebrate the amazing work undertaken by dedicated individuals, community groups, businesses, government and non-government organisations in the conservation, protection, and interpretation of natural, cultural and built heritage. If you know of a project or an individual that shouts excellence in heritage practice, we want to know.

The Awards culminate in an invitation only ceremony at the Canberra Hyatt where the Minister for Heritage will announce the Award recipients.

Be recognised, be acknowledged as champions of heritage.
