Sale events in Australia

27 Nov 2026 to 29 Nov 2026

Black Friday is the biggest discount weekend of the Australian year, led by electronics, appliances and fashion. It is also when inflated 'was' prices are most common, so a checked price matters more than on any other day.

Cyber Monday is the online-only tail of the Black Friday weekend. Tech and computing deals that sold out on Friday are often restocked, and retailers clear what did not move.

1 Dec 2026 to 24 Dec 2026

Christmas drives more Australian shopping searches than any sale event. Prices are not lower than Black Friday, so the job here is finding the gift in stock with delivery that arrives in time.

26 Dec 2026 to 3 Jan 2027

Boxing Day is Australia's traditional clearance sale, strongest for fashion, footwear, homewares, bedding and furniture. Electronics discounts are usually shallower than Black Friday's, because the stock that is left is what did not sell.

1 June 2027 to 30 June 2027

End of financial year sales run through June as retailers clear stock before 30 June. They are strongest for computers, office equipment, cars and anything a business can claim as a deduction, and are the best mid-year time to buy a laptop or monitor.

Click Frenzy is an Australian online sale run across hundreds of retailers at once. It lands a fortnight before Black Friday, so its prices are a useful early marker for what Black Friday will beat.

Afterpay Day is a retailer-wide sale tied to the buy-now-pay-later service, strongest in fashion, beauty and homewares. The discounts apply whether or not you pay with Afterpay.
