Father's Day in Australia occurs on the first Sunday of September, usually coinciding with the start of spring. This date is fixed each year and falls on September 6 in 2020.
The celebration of Father's Day originated in the United States in 1910 and was the result of a campaign by a woman who felt that fathers deserved recognition for their contributions to family life. For Australia, the recognition was formalised in 1949 with a proclamation from the then Governor-General and has since become an annual celebration, like Mother's Day on May 10.
Father's Day allows people to say thanks for all dads do. It's a perfect opportunity to make dads feel appreciated, valued and special. The day often includes some kind of gathering such as community events and other activities to celebrate family life, but everywhere people are finding unique ways to mark the occasion. Fathers experience love and appreciation from their families for things like taking kids fishing or mowing the lawn. On Father's Day they have licence to go out and have fun by going golfing or taking part in other activities they enjoy while also showing their loved ones they are appreciated.
Gift-giving is another popular way to celebrate Father's Day amongst Australians, especially when dads live far away too – sending cards or care packages with photo memories included is always popular. Local businesses can also cash in on Father's Day by stocking gift hampers filled with dad essentials – fast food vouchers, ties or maybe just a six pack of beer – there's something for every dad this Father's Day!
