When is Father’s Day?

In Australia, Father’s Day is observed on the first Sunday of September each year. This timing differs from many other countries, where the day is celebrated in June. The day is dedicated to recognising and honouring fathers and father figures for their roles within the family and the wider community. Families often celebrate by giving gifts, enjoying meals together, or engaging in activities that the father enjoys. It’s a special time for children and loved ones to express their gratitude and love for the contributions and sacrifices their fathers have made throughout their lives.

What are some gift ideas for Father’s Day?

Father’s Day gift ideas can vary depending on your father’s interests. A personalised gift, such as a custom-engraved watch or a photo book, adds a meaningful touch. For the tech-savvy dad, consider gadgets like wireless headphones or a robotic vacuum.
