Australia changed its national anthem from "God Save the Queen" to "Advance Australia Fair" in 1984. The decision was part of a broader movement toward a more distinct national identity. "Advance Australia Fair" had been used in various official capacities since the late 19th century but became the official anthem following a public poll in 1977 and was formally adopted in 1984.
