  Australian Unity - Company History
The founders of the association hoped to advance the interests of the native-born in Victoria by the establishment of a friendly society which would be non-political and non-sectarian, promoting the moral, social and intellectual improvement of its native-born (male) members.
Association membership developed slowly during the 1870's, but gained momentum in the 1880's with the increase in numbers of the native-born.
The achievement of Federation became Association policy in 1883 and there are several early references to Federation and the ANA in the journal, "The Australian Native".

  Australian Natives Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Australian Natives' Association (ANA), a mutual society was founded in Melbourne, Australia in April 1871.
Membership in the ANA was restricted to men born in Australia, at a time when native-born people of European descent (not including Indigenous Australians) were rising to power in place of an older generation born in Britain.
In 1880 the ANA committed itself to the federation of the Australian colonies, and provided much of the organisational and financial support for the Federation Leagues which led the campaign, particularly in Victoria.

 Australian Federation Flag - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Australian Federation Flag, also known as the New South Wales Ensign, was the result of an 1830s attempt to create a flag to represent Australia as a nation.
In the 1880s and early 1890s it was used as a symbol of the political movement towards Federation, with groups like the Australian Natives Association and the Australian Federation League using it to promote national consciousness of their push for Federation, under the slogan "One People, One Destiny, One Flag".
The Australian government received approval to fly the Blue Ensign in 1903, but the Australian Federation Flag was still being flown by Australian citizens as late as the 1920s.

 History of Australian Unity
Australian Unity, formerly known as Australian Unity Friendly Society Limited, was formed in September 1993, when two long established organisations — the Australian Natives' Association Friendly Society (ANA) and the Manchester Unity Independent Order of Oddfellows in Victoria Friendly Society, merged.
When the ANA was formed, it had two aims: to act as a friendly society offering financial support to its members in need; and to promote the moral, social and intellectual improvement of its members.
Australian Unity continues to build on the ANA's links with the establishment of Australia Day with a number of corporate and public events on 26th January.

 Sir John Quick, Federation & the Australian Natives' Association
Although not a native of Australia, Dr Quick found in the Association kindred spirits, and a definite rallying point in the efforts to obtain federal union.
In the early days of the ANA, especially in Bendigo, the condition of Australian birth was not strictly adhered to, and Dr Quick became very closely associated with the Sandhurst branch and its ideals.
In 1932, the year of his death, when the ANA again held its Annual Conference in Bendigo, Charles Daley refers to the invitation which was sent to the five surviving members of the Federal Convention of 1897-98.

 The Centre for Fraternal Studies
The ANA is a uniquely Australian version of the 'friendly societies' which originated in the northern hemisphere and came to Australia in the baggage of 18th and 19th century emigrants to make significant cultural, political and economic contributions to Australian society.
The ANA 's first meetings were in Victoria in 1871, when it was known as the Victorian Native's Association, changing its name one year later.
In addition to the push for Federation before 1901, the range of proposals pushed by the ANA have included protection of native flora and fauna, the dangers of land salination, the blight of the kanaka trade, and the need to educate Australian children in their own history, geography and civic responsibilities.
