Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has wished Australia's Muslim community a blessed and joyful end to Ramadan.
"From my family to yours, Eid Mubarak," he said in a statement on Sunday evening.
The prime minister described Ramadan - the month in which Muslims fast from food and water between dawn and sunset - as a time of spiritual renewal and recommitment to the values of gratitude, charity, and compassion.
"Eid al-Fitr is a special day to join with family and friends to share a festive meal, exchange gifts and extend the hand of charity," he said.
Mr Turnbull also spent his Sunday making a visit to the St Mark Coptic Orthodox Church in Sydney, with his wife Lucy.
