The start of a new year is the perfect time to hit the universal ‘reset’ button and proactively remain on top of our ever-growing to-do lists. If being more organised is one of your New Year’s resolutions, we have something that will help you to succeed in this very goal.
Here at Yellow Pages, we’ve compiled a calendar of events for 2024 that includes everything you need to know about what’s going on around the country. Australia calendar events include awareness days, public holidays, cultural festivals, sporting events, and key financial dates.
For businesses and marketers, this toolkit makes the ideal 2024 business calendar providing you with an overview of what’s coming up in the forthcoming year, so that you can get a head start on your seasonal marketing strategies.
Just as a heads up, there are still some events and festivals yet to be confirmed, or that perhaps will not go ahead in 2024. If there’s an entry you’re looking for in our calendar and you can’t find it, you may need to check with the event organisers closer to the day for confirmation.

Holidays and awareness days 2024.
The first tab of the events calendar keeps you informed about each Australian holiday, major United Nations days, awareness weeks and months, and even the term dates for schools in each state and territory.
This will helpfully guide your business’ social media calendar, as you can take inspiration from upcoming events and build shareable, likable content based on the interests of your audiences. Or you can simply use it for your own social calendar.

Financial calendar of events 2024.
The third tab offers a calendar of major financial dates in Australia in 2024. This includes the Reserve Bank of Australia’s (RBAs) monthly meeting for interest rate updates, BAS reminders and a number of local and political events.
