Brace yourselves, because the world’s favourite calendar has just dropped, and it’s already causing a global meltdown.
Yep, the 2026 Australian Firefighters Calendar is officially here, and for its 33rd year, it’s serving up a scorching combo of heroic firies and adorable animals, all for a bloody good cause.
For over three decades, this calendar has been more than just something to hang on your wall; it’s a fundraising powerhouse. This year, it’s bigger and better than ever, raising vital funds for seven incredible charities across Australia.
It’s Getting Hot In Here (For a Good Cause)
Since it kicked off, the calendar has used its now-legendary photos of Aussie firefighters to raise millions for charities that make a real difference. The 2026 edition is no exception, throwing its support behind some of the nation’s most important causes.
Wondering where your money goes? Check out the lineup of awesome organisations getting a boost this year:
- Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital: These legends are on the front line, rescuing and rehabilitating injured native wildlife. Thanks to ongoing support from the calendar, they even opened a specialised raptor recovery centre. Fun fact: the calendar’s donations earned them the naming rights for 2025!
- Wildcare Inc.: Based in the NT, this crew saves sick and orphaned wildlife, and thanks to five years of donations from the calendar, they’ve gone from struggling to thriving, now boasting 140 carers.
- South Australian Native Animal Rescue: Helping fund everything from emergency transport to public education to protect SA’s unique native animals.
- Kids With Cancer Foundation: Providing crucial financial and practical support to Aussie kids and their families facing the battle of a lifetime.
- CAVFA (Council of Australian Volunteer Fire Associations): Directly supporting our volunteer firies with mental health resources, training, and equipment. They’ve got our backs, so the calendar has theirs.
- Safe Haven Animal Rescue: Finding forever homes for homeless animals, because every furry mate deserves a loving family.
- Wandering Warriors: Founded by SAS veterans, this charity helps Aussie veterans and their families transition back to civilian life. Heroes helping heroes.
