Choristers in the Australian Girls Choir are known for their excellent presentation and girls are encouraged to take pride in their appearance.

- Allegro and Avanti Levels – The magenta t-shirt and dance pants are compulsory. The polar fleece jacket is optional.
- Prelude and Concert Levels – All items of the uniform are compulsory – magenta t-shirt, dance pants and polar fleece.
- Camerata and Performing Choir – All items of the uniform are compulsory – navy t-shirt, black shoes, purple ribbon, dance pants and polar fleece.
The choir uniform must be worn with black socks and black school or dress shoes.
A choir hair ribbon is worn with the uniform and girls wear their hair neatly tied back to every rehearsal. Only jewellery to be worn are small stud earrings and watches.
In the younger levels a navy bag is used to transport music or shoes. In Concert, Camerata and Performing, a navy blue/pink back-pack with the choir logo is compulsory. Younger girls may choose to purchase one of these bags prior to entry to the older levels.
For many years the choir uniform comprised navy blue culottes, navy blue stockings, black lace up shoes and pale pink polo shirt (with embroidered choir logo) with navy blue embroidered jumper.

Famous quotes containing the word uniform:
“We know, Mr. Weller—we, who are men of the world—that a good uniform must work its way with the women, sooner or later.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“The sugar maple is remarkable for its clean ankle. The groves of these trees looked like vast forest sheds, their branches stopping short at a uniform height, four or five feet from the ground, like eaves, as if they had been trimmed by art, so that you could look under and through the whole grove with its leafy canopy, as under a tent whose curtain is raised.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Iconic clothing has been secularized.... A guardsman in a dress uniform is ostensibly an icon of aggression; his coat is red as the blood he hopes to shed. Seen on a coat-hanger, with no man inside it, the uniform loses all its blustering significance and, to the innocent eye seduced by decorative colour and tactile braid, it is as abstract in symbolic information as a parasol to an Eskimo. It becomes simply magnificent.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
