New ServiceNow Release - Australia

[CrisBene]

Good morning,

I need to upgrade my ServiceNow instances from Yokohama to Australia version.

Before doing it, I need to know what will be kept and what will be deprecated, so I can develop new components.

However, I still haven't found any release note about Australia version, I only know that they will be available in Q1, 2026. Does someone know if they are already available or the date they will be?

Thanks,

Cristopher

Hi @CrisBene ,

Short answer - no. Release notes aren't available yet and neither can you upgrade to Australia yet. Either upgrade to Zurich if it's needed here and now or wait for the official release.

Test upgrades on a sub-production instance that is freshly cloned from the production instance. Then you can see what changes (after thoroughly testing).

Hi @CrisBene 

As per the latest SN update, the Family Release will be available in May and October. As of now, the official release notes for RTPR are not yet available, so it is difficult to determine what will be deprecated and what will be newly introduced.

You will need to wait until at least the end of April, when Australia will be available on PDI. At that point, you can easily upgrade, test in DEV, and then move to PROD.
