In Australia, most states observe Grandparents Day on the last Sunday in October. It’s a day of recognition like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. And there are many ways for children and families to connect with and celebrate their grandparents, even from afar. Grandparents play a pivotal part in Australian society. As the average age of Australians continues to rise, this special day acknowledges and honours all grandparents for their wisdom, unconditional love and contributions.
The first Australian Grandparents Day began in November 2010 in Queensland. Later, the date was changed to the last Sunday in October when other Australian states, including New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, officially recognised Grandparents Day.
