I know virtually nothing about this topic, but Wikipedia says that the flag "is one of the officially proclaimed flags of Australia", and the page "List of Australian Flags" [0] lists it as a national flag alongside the flag most people would recognize as the Australian flag. It seems plausible to me based on this that the flag is really a national flag for legal purposes.
