2026 Calendar of cultural and religious dates

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​This calendar is a guide intended to foster greater awareness and appreciation for the vibrant tapestry of cultural and religious traditions that are a part of Australian life. You should not treat it as an official or complete list of all cultural and religious dates celebrated or observed in Australia.

While we have made every effort to ensure the accuracy of these dates, you should not take them as definitive. Many religious and cultural observances vary according to cultural and religious customs and may fall on a different date than we have presented here.

You can find a listing of National Days on the Department of Foreign Affairs website.

You can find information about Australian public holidays on the Fair Work Ombudsman website​.​
