Luckily for income investors, the Australian share market is stacked with ASX dividend shares.
To narrow things down, let’s look at three top dividend shares that could be worth considering this month:
Flight Centre Travel Group Ltd (ASX: FLT)
Flight Centre could be an ASX dividend share to buy now.
The travel agency company has been through an extremely difficult period, but its earnings base is now rebuilding as travel demand normalises and the business becomes more efficient.
Flight Centre has exposure to both leisure and corporate travel, giving it more than one way to benefit if consumers and companies continue spending on trips, events, conferences, and overseas experiences.
The company is also no longer just a pure recovery story. If management can keep costs under control and improve margins, there may be scope for stronger profits and larger dividends over time.
Speaking of which, according to a recent note out of Morgans, its analysts expect a fully franked 48 cents per share dividend in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $12.75, this would mean a dividend yield of 3.8%.
HomeCo Daily Needs REIT (ASX: HDN)
HomeCo Daily Needs REIT could be another ASX dividend share to buy.
The property company owns a portfolio of neighbourhood and large-format retail assets that are focused on everyday spending.
Its tenants include supermarkets, healthcare providers, pharmacies, pet stores, childcare operators, and other businesses linked to daily needs.
That gives the REIT a relatively defensive flavour. After all, people may delay big-ticket purchases when conditions are tough, but groceries, medicines, healthcare, and essential services remain part of normal household spending.
For FY 2027, Ord Minnett expects a dividend of 8 cents per share. This represents a 6.9% dividend yield at current prices.
Rural Funds Group (ASX: RFF)
Rural Funds could be a third ASX dividend share to buy now.
It owns a portfolio of agricultural assets, including farmland, cattle properties, vineyards, orchards, and water entitlements.
Rather than operating all these assets itself, Rural Funds generally leases them to agricultural businesses under long-term agreements.
That gives investors exposure to agriculture without taking on all the direct operating risk of farming.
Agriculture can be cyclical, and asset values can move around. But demand for food does not disappear, and high-quality agricultural land can be valuable over the long term.
Bell Potter expects this to underpin an 11.7 cents per share dividend in FY 2027. Based on its current share price of $2.18, this would mean a dividend yield of 5.4%.
