Pancake Day | Shrove Tuesday 2026

Shrove Tuesday is known as Pancake Day in Australia.
Tuesday 17th February 2026
It is the last day before Lent for many Christians.
Many Australians make and share pancakes on Shrove Tuesday. Selling pancakes to raise money for charity is a popular activity. Some churches, businesses and charities hold Pancake Day events by making fresh pancakes and selling them. Proceeds from these events go towards various causes, such as support for low-income families who are experiencing tough times.
Uniting Vic.Tas
Funds raised from Pancake Day are used by Uniting Vic.Tas to help some of the most vulnerable and marginalised people in our communities.
These range from emergency relief for families facing food crisis, to supporting homeless people into permanent accommodation; from finding work for people with disability to supporting an older person to live independently in their own home.
Since 2002, Pancake Day has raised over $2.4 million for local communities across Victoria and Tasmania.
