Father’s Day Date
Father’s Day in Australia is on the first Sunday in September (not to be confused with Mother’s Day, which is on the second Sunday in May). So, while it isn’t on the same date each year, it always falls on a Sunday, giving most dads a welcome day off to spend with their loved ones. In 2025, Father's Day lands on Sunday September 7, 2025.
How to make Father’s Day special
What do dads really want for Father’s Day? It depends on the dad! Whether they’re a sports lover or bookworm, a cooking maestro, (self-confessed) style icon – or all the above – there’s a gift with their name on it. But special doesn’t have to mean large or expensive. A thoughtful offering that shows you know what they need (or want), or personal words on a greeting card, really make Father’s Day meaningful.
