Fair enough, although “January 26” is still American date format, not Australian date format.
Anyway, not trying to cause an argument or anything, just pointing out some tips you might like to pass on to the graphic designer and marketing team. I’ll see myself out.

We have no standard for if we say 26 of Jan or Jan 26th. The only standard we have is for de/mm/yyyy format.

Actually we do have an official standard for both short and long date. It’s “day month year”, not “month day”. Short dates are d/m/yyyy, long dates are dd mmm yyyy. stylemanual.gov.au/…/quick-guide-dates-and-time#%…

That’s for “Australian Government content”, it’s not the standard for vernacular Australian English.

I tend to disagree. The only people I know who use American date format pf mmm dd are either heavily influenced by American culture, media and other sourced like these, or are actually from a country which uses mmm dd date formats. The vernacular that I’ve experienced over 3 states and 5 cities on the east coast of Australia is “day month”.
