Australia laid the foundation stone for its pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai on 12 November 2019. UK's Turner & Townsend is the consultant for the project, and Dubai-based ASGC's subsidiary Al-Shafar Interiors (ASI) was announced as the main contractor in October 2019 to oversee the design, build, fit-out, exhibition and content for the project.

Based on the theme 'Blue Sky Dreaming', the pavilion is located in the Mobility district and will celebrate the island continent's "indigenous connection to land, sky and sea and encapsulates the idea of blue sky thinking".
