Australia Prepared is a 1916 Australian documentary film to show the country's preparation for World War I.[3][4]

It was inspired by the British propaganda film Britain Prepared (1915) and was commissioned by Senator George Pearce. Filming took several months.[5]

Unlike many Australian silent movies, a copy of it survives.
