Father’s day is a day of celebrating our father’s love, sacrifice and the life he dedicated to us. In Australia, Fathers love is celebrated on the first Sunday of September. In 2025, Father’s Day falls on Sunday, 7 September 2025. It is a lovely springtime date that fits well with outdoor plans, long lunches and fun time with family. You can double-check dates on calendars or trusted sites like Time and Date.
Easy ideas that work everywhere
- Breakfast or lunch out: Book a cafe with a view in Sydney or a rooftop spot in Melbourne. Popular places fill up fast, so reserve early.
- Experience gifts: Give a shared experience, a brewery tour, whisky tasting, a cooking class, or a workshop. These create memories rather than clutter.
- Outdoor fun: Try a picnic in a nearby park, a fishing trip, or a short hike. Spring weather makes outdoor plans pleasant.
