Short description: FamilyVoice Australia, a conservative Christian organization, was previously known as Festival of Light Australia from 1973 to 2008. Its primary mission was to serve as "a Christian ministry to the nation, advocating for authentic family values guided by divine wisdom." The name change to FamilyVoice Australia on July 1, 2008, was intended to alleviate any confusion with other similarly named festivals or groups worldwide, such as "Festival of Light" or "Festival of Lights."

FamilyVoice Australia engages in various activities, including disseminating information to its supporters, churches, and community leaders, as well as actively lobbying on matters of significance. It traces its origins back to 1972 when it was founded in Adelaide under the name "Australian Festival of Light and Community Standards Organisation." The inspiration for its name and mission was drawn from the United Kingdom's Nationwide Festival of Light, which was established in 1971
