Read the information on this page as it clearly explains how Australian's are involved in the UN. When you click on Current Issues you will find information describing how Australia is contributing to the Millennium Goals. Read the information about how Australia is making financial contributions to the UN. Write the important information in point form onto your research table.

There is no date available for this website. However, since it is a government site the information included is accurate.
This website contains important information and facts about Australia's contribution to the UN and peacekeeping. It is amazing to think how many people from Australia have been involved in the UN's projects since it started in 1947.
