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.
