World Teachers' Day in Australia Date in the current year: October 25, 2024

International holiday of World Teacher's Day was established by UNESCO on October 5, 1994 and since then it's annually celebrated on this day in many countries around the world. However, many countries also have their National Teachers' Days or move World Day to another day, as it was made in Australia. The thing is that Australian schools go on a holiday at this time in October, that's why the holiday is celebrated on the last Friday in October. If it coincides with Halloween, the festive events may be postponed to November.

Every year the NeiTA Foundation (National Excellence in Teaching Awards) and ASG (Australian Scholarships Group) announce the national teaching recipients of the ASG Community Merit Awards on this day. All teachers and members of school government are encouraged to participate in the events, that are organized across Australia. All willing participants have to register and wait for confirmation and official invitation.
