Welcome to the Community & happy learning !

You can check for past, present & future releases from below link

Australia release would be Q2 2026 and I expect it to bring more features to simplify the routine tasks & enhance Productivity using Now Assist. I believe the focus would be on enabling automation, AI analytics and optimizing existing functionalities.

If this helped to guide you or answer your query, please mark it helpful & accept the solution. 

Thanks,
