Days of Religious Significance

The Days of Religious Significance calendar is a guide for employers and managers to assist in accommodating the needs of staff.

In New South Wales we practise more than 139 religious traditions. By understanding our religious diversity, we can better promote interfaith harmony and respect, including in the workplace.

The Days of Religious Significance calendar is compiled in consultation with members of the NSW Faith Affairs Council as a guide for employers and managers to assist them in accommodating the needs of staff.

The calendar is not a comprehensive list of all days of religious observance and there may be different religious interpretations relating to some dates.
