Australian Public Holidays by State and Year
Choose a state or territory
Public holidays in Australia are gazetted by each state and territory, not nationally, so the same day can be a holiday in one place and an ordinary working day a few kilometres away. Pick a jurisdiction to see the dates we hold, where they came from, and what is still disputed.

Pending
Nothing is pending: every state and territory we cover has a page for each year we hold data for. Where a date has not been gazetted yet, it is missing from that jurisdiction’s table rather than estimated, and that page says so in its “What we checked, and what we changed” note.
Calculators that use this data
These tools read the same public holiday data. If a date on this page is wrong, their answers are wrong too — which is exactly why the verification note sits at the top of this page rather than the bottom.
- Business Days Calculator — counts working days between two dates and skips public holidays
- Cooling-Off Period Calculator — counts a cooling-off deadline in business days
- Holiday Calendar — shows the next public holiday for a chosen state
- Long Service Leave Calculator — applies rules that differ by state and territory
- Australian Public Holidays 2026 — the national summary page for the same year
