Moonsighting Australia Policy
Moonsighting Australia’s Policy and Procedures for the Observation of the Hilāl and the Determination of Lunar Months in Australia outlines the framework used to receive and verify moonsighting reports, assess witness testimony, the use of approved optical aids, and determine the commencement of Islamic lunar months across Australia and its recognised territories. Originally adopted in 2018 and revised in 2026, the policy provides a transparent and consistent process for moonsighting decisions and official announcements.
