Attend Workers' Memorial Day Event In 2026

International Workers' Memorial Day, held on 28 April, is a time to remember those who have died because of workplace injury, illness or disease, and to renew our commitment to preventing workplace deaths.

To mark the day, consider attending a Workers' Memorial Day service or event in your state or territory.

Safe Work Australia's data shows that around 200 people lose their lives each year due to workplace incidents, and many more die due to work related diseases. Standing with others in your local community is a powerful reminder that behind every statistic is a person, a family, work colleagues and a community and that every workplace death is one too many.

See what memorial ceremonies are happening in major cities across the country and attend an event to pay your respects.
