Australia celebrates Father’s Day on the first Sunday of September each year. In 2026, mark the calendar for Sunday, September 6!

Unlike many countries that celebrate Father's Day in June, Australia marks the occasion on the first Sunday in September. Some say it helps spread major celebrations across the year, others reckon it’s because of warmer weather, but no one knows for sure. Whatever the reason, we’re happy to march to our own beat (and calendar).

We know shopping for dads can be notoriously tricky! When a new pair of socks just doesn’t cut it anymore, turn to Harvey Norman for foolproof ideas that are outside the (gift) box.

How about a coffee machine for sleep-deprived dads to get their fix without the queue? You could treat him to a little peace and quiet with a pair of wireless headphones, or a foot massager if he spends all day on his feet.

From the patriarch of the family to besotted new dads, we’ve got every type of father or father figure covered.

Father’s Day is just around the corner, and we’re here to help you find the very best Father’s Day gifts for every man in your life – because they deserve nothing less!

But what do you buy the man who already has it all, or insists he doesn’t want a thing? This September, impress him with goodies he’ll actually love from Harvey Norman:

• For the Techie Dad  - Smart, sleek and seriously cool – treat him to tech that keeps him one step ahead, like the latest AI glasses and drones.
• For the Sports-Obsessed Dad – Give game day an upgrade with a TV and soundbar setup that puts him right in the stadium.
• For the Foodie Dad – A new barbecue, smoker or portable pizza oven is an apt gift for your resident grill master.
• For the Sporty Dad  – From chasing PBs to post-workout recovery, a fitness watch and massage gun make the perfect training partner.
• For the Well-Groomed Dad – Elevate his daily ritual with a powerful electric shaver or new signature fragrance.

A first Father's Day calls for something that's equal parts thoughtful and practical. From coffee machines for those early starts that turn 4am feeds into something more bearable, to smart watches that help keep life on track, or a digital photo frame filled with his favourite family photos, we have plenty of sweet presents for Father’s Day to help first-timed dads celebrate their newest and most important role.

Grandads deserve celebrating too! Whether he’s pottering in the garden, loves holding court at family gatherings or just wants to keep up with the family from afar, we’ve got thoughtful Father's Day presents for every kind of Pop.

Think a new BBQ worthy of his years behind the tongs, a robotic lawn mower so he can finally put his feet up or a tablet to stay in the loop with the grandkids from his favourite recliner.
