About the Torres Strait Islander Flag

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes are available for Torres Strait Islander flags?
Common stock flag sizes include 900 × 450 mm, 1370 × 685 mm, 1800 × 900 mm and larger options, although the exact range varies by design. Choose the size to suit the pole or indoor display.
Which material is best for a Torres Strait Islander flag flown outdoors?
For regular outdoor use, choose woven polyester when the site is exposed to stronger wind or UV. Knitted polyester is lighter and flies well in calm to moderate conditions, while fully sewn is the premium traditional option.
How should the Torres Strait Islander flag be displayed with the Australian and Aboriginal flags?
Display the Torres Strait Islander flag on its own pole alongside the Australian and Aboriginal flags where possible. Use matching flag sizes and follow the relevant Australian flag protocol for order and positioning.
What flag finish is best for a school or council flagpole?
For a school or council flagpole with a rope and clips, choose a header-and-loops finish. Use a vertical sleeve only when the flag is going onto an indoor or presentation pole.
Can Torres Strait Islander flags be used in foyer and indoor ceremonial displays?
Yes. Choose a vertical-sleeve flag or a purpose-built indoor foyer set so the flag sits correctly on the presentation pole and remains clear of the floor.
How should a Torres Strait Islander flag be maintained in Australian weather?
Wash polyester flags with a mild detergent when needed, let them dry fully, and store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Taking them down in strong winds and overnight will also reduce wear.
