Immediate Property Impact
Variable rate mortgage holders
No additional April RBA basis-point change applies because no April Board meeting was scheduled. The latest RBA move remained the 25 basis-point increase announced on 17 March 2026.
New borrowers
Borrowing-capacity settings in April reflect lender pricing and serviceability settings after the March increase rather than a new April cash-rate decision.
Investors
There is no separate April RBA pass-through to report. Any April mortgage repricing reflects the March decision and lender-specific pricing changes.
Context
The official RBA meeting calendar for 2026 lists Monetary Policy Board meetings in February, March, May, June, August, September, November and December. April is not one of the scheduled decision months in 2026.
The latest cash-rate move before this article was the 17 March 2026 decision, when the Board increased the cash rate target by 25 basis points to 4.10%. The RBA cash-rate overview page lists 18 March 2026 as the effective date and 5 May 2026 as the next update.
Because there is no April meeting, an April-specific lender reaction section is not applicable. The next valid release window is the May 2026 meeting.
FAQ
What did the RBA decide in April 2026?
The RBA did not make an April 2026 monetary policy decision because the Monetary Policy Board was not scheduled to meet in April. The cash rate target therefore remained at 4.10%, the level set after the 17 March 2026 decision.
How does this affect my mortgage?
There was no additional April RBA move to change mortgage repayments. Any change visible on a variable mortgage in April would be tied to lender pricing after the March 2026 rate increase, not to a new April Board decision. For reporting purposes, this means the April period should be treated as a continuation of the March settings rather than a new decision event.
