Australia Day custody schedule for two homes
How co-parents share Australia Day: the common arrangements, the dates from 2026 to 2031, and who has it when you alternate by odd and even years.
Common ways to share it
- Alternate the day every year
- Keep it with the regular schedule
- Attach it to the weekend when it falls next to one
- Share a barbecue or an outing if both parents are comfortable

Australia Day is January 26. Your own parenting plan decides the times.
In TaskFamily, Australia Day becomes an exception that overrides the usual two-homes schedule for those days, so both homes and the children see where they will be. Swap requests need the other parent's approval and go into the record.
Free for one household. The Co-parent plan covers both homes for $19 a month - $9.50 each when two parents split it.
