About Us

Hi, I'm Irene Hamilton, founder of Really Useful Calendars, born and live in South Australia.  While I'll always be a Social Worker and love the person to person contact, I'm now helping people in a different way – by creating practical tools they can use to shape their own path.

Really Useful Calendars started with a simple observation: a calendar isn't just about dates, it's about people and how they live their lives, the challenges they face and the way that time is never enough.

We know that older people still love using calendars for one simple reason. Every time you walk past it, there's an opportunity to organise your life a little better. Those people have understood the power of the calendar their whole life. Younger people, busy families and even businesses use them too. It's an important tool and means something to people.

That's what we love! We also love supporting communities.

Really Useful Calendars are proudly South Australian made, because we believe in creating local jobs and opportunities in our community. Every calendar we make supports our state's growth and employs local talent. All of our children deserve opportunities that come with a thriving local economy and we will only provide that if South Australia continues to make stuff.

Our products are designed for both individuals and small businesses, with options for personal use and wholesale. We're excited to build relationships with other Australian businesses because we believe in the power of community. When we support each other – whether as individuals or businesses – we help strengthen communities across Australia.

Whether your a person with a NDIS plan or a business, our vision is:

"to create products that make a difference"

Based on people's needs, we will continue to create South Australian designed and printed calendar products in the years to come.

You can email us at rucalendars(@)gmail.com to share your story, ask a question or provide feedback.

I look forward to sharing personal stories about people and business who use our products in their everyday lives.
