When Is Father’s Day?

In Australia, Father’s Day arrives on the first Sunday in September every year, and in 2023, it lands in our calendars on September 3rd.

How To Make Father’s Day Special For Your Dad

There are so many ways you can make Dad feel like number 1 on Father's Day. You could make him a coffee in the morning or cook him his favourite meal for dinner. Most Dads love a good, home cooked meal, and you could also time it with a family movie or games night.

If those options aren’t possible – especially if you live interstate or overseas – consider getting him a gift he’ll truly love. Whatever you decide, taking the time to acknowledge your Dad and give him a little more attention than usual is a great place to start. But if you’re set on finding the ultimate gift, let’s take a look at a few great options.
