[[File:{{PAGENAME}}.jpg|center|Coat of arms (crest) of {{PAGENAME}}]]

===Official blazon===
'''Arms''' : Azure, a Fess enhanced and in base a Pale Argent, over all a representation of the Southern Cross counterchanged.<br>
'''Crest''' : On a Wreath of the Colours, five Books erect proper.<br>
'''[[:Category:Mottoes all|Motto]]''':  'Integrity'.

===Origin/meaning===
The arms were officially granted on September 1, 1958.

The T formed by the fess and pale represents a double-sided account, and thus double entry book-keeping. The Southern Cross, and the books in the Crest, are symbols for Australia and accountancy.'''[[Literature]]''':
