A day to honour your mother
On Sunday, take the chance to celebrate motherhood and the significant women in your life.
nationalseniors.com.auHere’s a quick update on Mother’s Day in Australia.
-
Date: In Australia, Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May. In 2025 it fell on May 11, and in 2026 it will be May 10. This pattern repeats each year, so you can mark it on your calendar accordingly.[1][2]
-
What’s happening: Mother’s Day isn’t a public holiday in Australia, so shops and businesses usually operate as normal, with many retailers and venues offering specials, brunches, or event packages to celebrate moms.[1]
-
Ideas for celebrating: Common ways Australians celebrate include giving flowers or gifts, taking Mum out for brunch or a special meal, hosting family gatherings, or attending local Mother’s Day events or charity runs such as the Mother’s Day Classic in support of breast and ovarian cancer research (these activities vary by year and city).[6][1]
