The Ramadan Calendar 2027 Australia is expected to start on Monday, 8 February 2027, with the first Taraweeh prayer on the evening of Sunday, 7 February. This guide gives you the key dates, a full 30 day Sehri and Iftar timetable for eight Australian cities, a free PDF to download, and clear notes on daylight saving, fasting hours and how the start of the month is confirmed.

Ramadan Calendar 2027 Australia: Key Dates at a Glance

Ramadan follows the Islamic lunar calendar, so it arrives about 11 days earlier each year. In 2026 the Australian Fatwa Council announced the first fast for Thursday, 19 February, so in 2027 the month begins roughly 11 days sooner, in the last weeks of summer.

For a global view of the dates, read our guide on when is Ramadan 2027, and use the Ramadan 2027 countdown to track the days remaining.

Who Confirms the Ramadan Calendar 2027 Australia Dates?

The start of Ramadan depends on the new crescent moon, and Australia has more than one approach. Knowing which one your community follows helps you plan with confidence.

The ANIC and Australian Fatwa Council method

Many Australian Muslims follow the Australian National Imams Council (ANIC), led by the Grand Mufti of Australia. Its announcements are made on the advice of the Australian Fatwa Council, which looks at the calculated birth of the new moon before sunset, how long the moon stays up after sunset, and the possibility of seeing it in Australia and the surrounding region. For example, the 2026 start was announced as Thursday, 19 February, as reported by Gulf News.

Local moon sighting

Some mosques and community groups prefer to wait for a local eyewitness sighting. In that case your first fast could fall a day later than the national announcement. If you are unsure, ask your local imam which announcement your mosque follows, and keep your family on one date.

A practical tip for the first night

Prepare for Monday, 8 February, but keep a second alarm ready for Tuesday, 9 February. Confirm the announcement after Maghrib on Sunday, 7 February, before you go to sleep.

How This Ramadan Timetable 2027 Australia Is Calculated

Trust matters with prayer times, so here is the method in plain language. The Ramadan Calendar 2027 Australia on this page uses astronomical calculation for each city's latitude and longitude, with Fajr at an 18 degree sun angle, Isha at a 17 degree sun angle, and Maghrib at sunset. Asr uses the standard shadow rule followed by the Shafi, Maliki and Hanbali schools.

I checked the method against published Ramadan 2027 prayer times for several Australian locations, including Tasmania, the Northern Territory and the New South Wales coast, and the results matched within about one minute. Even so, these are calculated estimates. Always compare them with your local mosque timetable once it is released, and follow your mosque if the two differ.

If you follow a different school or calculation

• Hanafi Asr: Asr begins later, when an object's shadow is twice its height.
• Shia Jafari times: Suhoor usually ends about 10 minutes earlier and Iftar is about 10 minutes later than the Sunni times shown here.
• Imsak: Some calendars show Imsak about 10 minutes before Fajr as a caution. This timetable lists Fajr, which is when the fast truly begins.

Daylight Saving and the Ramadan Timetable 2027 Australia

Daylight saving ends on the first Sunday of April, after Ramadan 2027 has finished. That means New South Wales, Victoria, the ACT, Tasmania and South Australia are still on daylight saving time during the whole month, while Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory stay on standard time.

The effect is visible in every city of the Ramadan Calendar 2027 Australia timetable. In Sydney on day one, Suhoor ends at 04:50 and Iftar is at 19:56. Brisbane is on the same coast but one hour behind Sydney on the clock, so its Iftar falls much earlier in the evening. Perth, at the western edge, breaks its fast at 19:14 on day one.

Ramadan Calendar 2027 Australia: Sehri and Iftar Example for Sydney

On Monday, 8 February, a fast in Sydney lasts about 15h 06m. Fajr is 04:50, sunrise is 06:22, Dhuhr is 13:09, Asr is 16:52, Maghrib is 19:56 and Isha is 21:22. A simple routine is to wake about 45 minutes before Fajr, finish Suhoor by 04:50, pray Fajr, and plan lighter work after Dhuhr when energy dips.

Practical Tips for Fasting in the Australian Summer

Ramadan 2027 falls in the last weeks of the Australian summer, so heat and hydration deserve attention. Fasts are long, at around 14 to 16 hours in most southern cities.

Suhoor tips

• Choose slow digesting foods such as oats, eggs, yoghurt, wholegrain bread and dates.
• Drink water steadily between Isha and Suhoor rather than all at once.
• Limit very salty food, which increases thirst on hot days.

Iftar tips

• Break your fast the Sunnah way with dates and water, then pray Maghrib.
• Follow with soup and a balanced plate of protein, vegetables and complex carbohydrates.
• Keep fried snacks small so you can still pray Taraweeh comfortably.

Work, School and Community During Ramadan in Australia

Planning around the Ramadan Calendar 2027 Australia helps at work and school. Australia does not shorten official working hours in Ramadan, and Eid ul Fitr is not a national public holiday, so a little planning goes a long way. Speak to your employer or school in January, and ask for flexible hours or leave for Eid, since the exact day may only be confirmed the night before.

Community life is a highlight. Mosques across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide hold nightly Taraweeh prayers and community Iftars, and Sydney's Lakemba area is well known for its Ramadan night markets. Charities such as Islamic Relief Australia also run food drives and Zakat collections during the month. Use our Zakat calculator and read what is Zakat to plan your giving before Eid.

The last ten nights and Laylatul Qadr

The last ten nights begin on the evening of Saturday, 27 February, and the 27th night falls on the evening of Friday, 5 March. The Quran describes the Night of Power as better than a thousand months, as you can read at Quran.com. Read our Surah Al Qadr guide and prepare a short dua list in advance.

Prepare Early for Ramadan 2027

Bookmark this Ramadan Calendar 2027 Australia page and return in January for any update. Ramadan 2027 is a little over four months away. Rajab and Shaban are ideal training months, so fast on Mondays and Thursdays in Shaban, build a realistic Quran reading plan, and set your charity budget before the month starts. Our guide to the month of Shaban explains how to prepare, and the wider Ramadan calendar 2027 page covers other regions. If you also follow Malaysian times, see the Malaysia Ramadan timetable 2027.
